Supporting Materials:

 

Instructor’s Solutions Manuals, Solution Book, Students’ Solutions Manuals, online Maple and TI graphing calculator manuals, PowerPoint slides, and many more, go to the publisher website.

 

Software supporting the textbook:

 

MyMathLab is powered by CourseCompass™–Pearson Educations’s online teaching and learning environment–and by MathXL®–Addison-Wesley’s online homework, tutorial and assessment system. It is a series of text-specific, easily customizable online courses for Addison-Wesley textbooks in mathematics and statistics. Students can do homework and take tests online through http://www.coursecompass.com/.

 

A MyMathLab access code is required for a student to access CourseCompass™. The code can also be purchased together with the book, or separately online: Click here.

 

TestGen is a test generator program that helps instructors create tests using publisher-supplied testbanks. The tests it generates can be on paper, or online through CourseCompass™. In either case, there can be many versions of a single test, with numbers changed, and the order of the problems and/or the order of answers shuffled. The TestGen Plug-in allows students to view tests in online products such as CourseCompass™ and MyMathLab.

 

The TestGen Plug-in is automatically installed when you install TestGen, or, for students, who do not need TestGen itself, it can be installed independently.

 

For instructors: download TestGen from here.

For students: to find out how to register in the course, or download the TestGen plug-in, click here.
