• There is a useful on-line study guide for MTH 253, 254, 255, and 256. The MTH 253 on-line study guide has excellent support materials for MTH 306. I highly recommend the site.
• In Lesson 16 you learn that power series can by manipulated like ordinary polynomials provided you take a little care about where the results are valid. Some of you may be rusty at long division of polynomials and therefore may have trouble doing long division of infinite series. Here are two links that may be helpful. The first is about long division of polynomials and the second gives two examples of how to apply the long division algorthim to power series.
• Wiley made an error in the print run and failed to include all of the index of our text. Here it is.
