New mobile-friendly interactive tutorials are ideal for students on the go.
We’ve redesigned our popular Interactive Tutorials in an enhanced, mobile-friendly learning environment, giving students the opportunity to study anytime, anywhere. You can assign these as pre-lecture assignments to ensure that students come to class prepared.
Videos reinforce concepts and help sharpen problem-solving skills.
Solution Walkthrough Videos are available as question assistance and help students learn problem-solving techniques. Based on exercises and problems that are similar to some of the most highly assigned problems in the text, these solution videos guide students step-by-step through the material they need to know.
