WolframAlpha instruction

The following two links contain basic exercises that feature content that is often done wrong. They are far from exhaustive but can give you a starting point.
basic calculations exercise
basic differentiation/integration exercise
If you have any problems with with these basic exercises, please work through the material listed above for the pre-course in mathematics (script and exercises).

Online lecture material:
If one of the video links does not work (completely, or no pictures or no sound), try the other ones (we have 3 different video links each, one is the preview and there are two other video links on top of that). In most cases, one of them works. For each subchapter, we also have just the pdf file (w/o oral explanations).
