Integrals, Bayesian Belief Networks, etc...

Wolfram provides the Integrator for symbolic integration on the web! Use it, it's free, saves a lot of time looking up integral itentities in your old calc book.

For more info on topics covered in class, you might consider
Wikipedia. Eric Weinsteins Mathworld is also a super valuable resource for understanding the math we deal with in this class.

Dont forget that there are slides that go along with the book at the book's website.
