  • Personalized homework for a section. Learning supports will be provided as you do your homework, such as "see an example", "work in steps", and more!
  • eTextbook with videos, animations, examples and more.  The multimedia textbook is the exact text of your book but has several added learning features you can utilize to learn the material.  There are video clips of worked examples and links that say "You Try It" so you can test your understanding. Along the left margin of the text you'll see the icons for these powerful learning tools.
