Interactive tutorial exercises: MyMathLab's homework and practice exercises are correlated to the exercises in the relevant textbook, and they regenerate algorithmically to give you unlimited opportunity for practice and mastery. You can regenerate these exercises with new values for unlimited practice, and the exercises include guided solutions and multimedia learning aids to give students the extra help they need. Students are actively engaged in practicing math, ask more and better questions, and enjoy the learning process. They feel a real sense of accomplishment because they recognize and can take credit for the role they’ve played in their success.” from Jill Shirley, Cal Poly Pomona. “MML is one of the most reliable of all online Math programs.” from Sheila Pisa, Riverside Community College (CA). I have fewer students dropping out of the courses I am teaching using this method than in the past - before MML.

"This is straight forward and easy to use for learning and submitting homework."
"This is a MathLab student access kit purchased for my son's college class."
"So happy I found this!"
"As far as what you get with an access card in general I would say that having one for math is the most beneficial of them all, it give the opportunity to do practice, to have a professor go other chapters and sections and show work (they are prerecorded) It also gives quiz and test reviews."
"However, it is better to purchase the access code straight from the website!!! After reading some reviews, I agree that of course, if you open the code it is almost impossible to get a full refund back, let alone a refund in general. Now I have to wait to see if I will get a refund, so that I may purchase an access code through the Pearson website instead..."
"When i went to put in my code, it wasn't working, and i called two different people about this after searing EVERYWHERE for their phone number, and now Pearson won't switch my code without costing me because they don't tell you you have to purchase certain codes for certain platforms."
"I was assured I would be getting a hard cover copy of the text in addition to the copy of the access code to the online stuff."
Comprehensive and evenly paced, the book provides complete coverage of the function concept, and integrates a significant amount of graphing calculator material to help students develop insight into mathematical ideas. Stewart was the author of a best-selling calculus textbook series published by Cengage Learning, including CALCULUS, CALCULUS: EARLY TRANSCENDENTALS, and CALCULUS: CONCEPTS AND CONTEXTS, as well as a series of precalculus texts.
