Putting Students at the Helm
Navigating Through Mathematics is an innovative liberal arts mathematics program that requires students to take control of their own learning. The relatable voices of authors Alicia Collins and Denise Nunley shine through in the course's examples and videos to give students an engaging, enjoyable learning experience. The relevant and personalized content reduces math anxiety and empowers students to navigate through the course successfully. This digital program harnesses the power of MyMathLab and offers an abundance of opportunities for students to interact with the math, learn content in a non-intimidating environment, and test their understanding at point-of-use.
Also Available with MyMathLab®
This text was built in MyMathLab, an online homework, tutorial, and assessment program designed to engage students and improve results. Within its structured environment, students practice what they learn, test their understanding, and engage with a variety of media resources that help them absorb course material and understand difficult concepts.
