Michael Sullivan’s time-tested approach focuses students on the fundamental skills they need for the course: preparing for class, practicing with homework, and reviewing the concepts. The Enhanced with Graphing Utilities Series has evolved to meet today’s course needs by integrating the usage of graphing calculator, active-learning, and technology in new ways to help students be successful in their course, as well as in their future endeavors.
In the Sixth Edition, new worksheets in MyMathLab—developed from the authors’ experience in the classroom—provide mixed review for students who having trouble reconciling various topics, and also give students an opportunity to show their work. The “Are You Prepared?” section openers focus on students mastering the prerequisite material before beginning a new topic, and for the first time, those exercises are assignable in MyMathLab. Concept and Vocabulary exercises are also now assignable in MyMathLab as reading quizzes.
