Tools & study tips for university

Book business transactions with debits and credits yourself, every line checked, with calculation and reasons.

55 transactions · 3 levels · UK bookkeeping

Do cost accounting yourself: contribution, break-even, cost-plus pricing, process costing, overhead rates, make or buy and variances, with worked solutions.

Contribution · break-even · costing · overheads

Do micro- and macroeconomics yourself: market equilibrium, elasticities, surplus, tax incidence, monopoly, the consumer optimum, cost curves, the multiplier, money creation and IS-LM, with worked solutions and the typical mistake.

Micro · elasticities · costs · multiplier · IS-LM

Work out derivatives and integrals and type them in: power, product, quotient and chain rule, antiderivatives, substitution, integration by parts and limits. Every equivalent form counts, with worked solutions.

Differentiation rules · antiderivatives · integrals · limits

Do statistics yourself: mean and spread, probabilities, distributions, confidence intervals, tests and regression, with worked solutions.

Descriptive · distributions · tests · regression

Practise linear systems, determinants, rank and inverses with your own row operations, hints and worked solutions.

Linear systems · determinant · rank · inverse

Do general chemistry yourself: molar mass, moles, concentration and dilution, pH of strong and weak acids, buffers, stoichiometry, limiting reagents and titration, with worked solutions and the typical mistake.

Moles · concentration · pH · buffers · titration

Solve genetics yourself: Punnett squares (mono-, di- and trihybrid, incomplete dominance), blood groups, test crosses, X-linked inheritance, the genetic code, mutations, Hardy-Weinberg, gene linkage and pedigree risk, with worked solutions and the typical mistake.

Mendel · blood groups · genetic code · pedigrees · Hardy-Weinberg

Practise organic chemistry reactions: find the product or reagent and plan syntheses in 2–3 steps, with structures and mechanisms.

Over 150 reactions from organic chemistry 1 and 2

Practise structure elucidation: double bond equivalents, ¹H and ¹³C NMR signals, n+1 splitting, IR bands, molecular ion and isotope patterns, then the structure from formula, IR and NMR. Every spectrum is computed from the structure.
