introductory materials

Beginning course resources

Introductory materials are the preliminary content that precedes the main body of a work—prefaces, forewords, tables of contents, acknowledgments, and the like.

In publishing, these pages often use Roman numerals.

The phrase also applies to beginner-level resources: The course packet includes introductory materials on statistics.
