How to Get the Most From this Resource

The links on this page take you to learning resources for a conventional textbook. Few, if any, Free-Ed.Net learners have the book at hand, so there might be some concern about how useful this material can be. It is useful — very useful. You simply have to learn how to use it.

As you link to the contents on this page, you will find lists of things you should learn about, important terms, interactive animations, quizzes ... lots of things. There is enough material here to keep you busy for a long time. Maybe you don't have the textbook at hand, but you do have the entire internet to build upon the framework of knowledge offered here.

Here are two keys to success with this material.

1. The Google search engine

Use the Google search box located below the table of contents. This is your key to refining details and expanding your understanding of the terms and concepts you discover in the textbook-support resources.

2. Your personal learning journal.

Keep a thorough learning journal. Fill it with notes, thoughts, and details that seem important at the time.

Of course you will see some references to specific page numbers, figure, and problems located in a book you do not have. What difference does that make? Simply ignore them. The internet is your source of material.

This is your chance to learn how to learn.
