He really taught me everything I could know about accounting. The way he explains things just makes sense and for the first time, I actually felt like I could get a handle on everything.

Mike helped me achieve amazing grades in all my accounting classes. His teaching style helps students actually understand the material being taught. He will not stop until you fully understand the concept. He is very approachable when you have questions. All his material gets you super prepared for your midterms and finals.

If it wasn't for Mike I would've never been able to get through my business and math classes. I ended every class he taught me with an A and he made the learning process so interesting and enjoyable. I definitely recommend him!

Frequently asked questions
What topics are covered in MATH 209 at Concordia?
MATH 209 covers business-focused calculus, including limits, continuity, derivatives, marginal analysis, optimization, integrals, and area under curves. You'll apply concepts to real-world problems like elasticity of demand and cost/revenue optimization — all aligned with the Barnett, Zeigler & Byleen textbook
How can Grade Grinders help me succeed in MATH 209?
We provide weekly tutorials and crash courses that focus on mastering derivatives, sketching curves, and solving optimization problems. Whether it’s product rules or definite integrals, our walkthroughs and mock exams mirror the types of questions you'll see on your midterm and final.
Is MATH 209 hard? What do students struggle with most?
Yes, especially if calculus isn’t your strong suit. Students commonly struggle with chain rule, implicit differentiation, optimization word problems, and integrals. That’s why we offer step-by-step problem breakdowns and targeted review sessions focused on high-weight exam topics.

Definitely. If you're enrolled in a Grade Grinders tutorial or crash course, you’ll get access to our private Discord server to ask questions and get fast, reliable help from experienced instructors.
How is MATH 209 graded?
Your final grade will be the higher of these two options:
- Option A: 10% assignments, 30% midterm, 60% final exam
- Option B: 10% assignments, 10% midterm, 80% final exam
There is no “100% final exam” option
What kind of practice does Grade Grinders offer for MATH 209?
We offer mock midterms and finals based on past Concordia exams, plus detailed solution sets, proof-based practice, and exam-style problem walkthroughs — all to help you build confidence and speed.
What’s the format of the MATH 209 midterm and final exam?
The midterm is 1.5 hours and held in late October, covering Weeks 1–6. The final is 3 hours long and cumulative. Both are written, problem-solving exams with questions on limits, derivatives, applications, and integrals
Is MyLabMath required for MATH 209?
Yes. Assignments are submitted through MyLabMath, and the platform is also used for extra practice. It includes an eTextbook and many practice problems. MyLabMath access is included with the textbook or can be purchased separately.
Do I need MATH 208 to take MATH 209?
Yes. You need MATH 206 or its equivalent to take MATH 209. If you've completed MATH 208 already, you're in great shape since it builds the foundation for understanding MATH 209 topics.
