PREFACE
Dear Student:
Bravo! It is with a resolute yet helping hand that I take you
through this most remarkable journey in a manner that you
will appreciate every time you have to refresh & amplify
your mathematics. One of my objectives is to keep you
motivated as you proceed through the book. To that end,
every chapter starts off with a “CAN YOU?”. With the
motivation, start by reading the solved examples, then test
yourself by attempting the examples & then the workouts,
as well as the fill-in-the-blanks & the multiple-choice
questions. Thanks for choosing University Mathematics –
and good luck!
Kindest regards,
Olaniyi Evans01/01/2020
