MyMathLab is an interactive online resource
that accompanies the text. In distance learning sections of Developmental
Mathematics courses, MyMathLab is required.
All new textbooks
purchased at an ACC bookstore include MyMathLab access. It is not included with the purchase of a used
book, and may not be included with a new book purchased at a different
bookstore. Here are some other ways to purchase MyMathLab:
· You may purchase a Student MyMathLab Access Kit online from Pearson Higher Ed for $70.00 at: www.mymathlab.com/buying.html.
· Student MyMathLab Access Kits are available at other retailers, such as amazon.com. Use caution, as the product is not guaranteed by Pearson when purchased anywhere other than an ACC bookstore or the Pearson website (above).
· A new textbook bundled with MyMathLab may also be purchased from another retailer. Make sure the product specifically indicates a bundle including both the textbook and the MyMathLab software.

· Exercises tied to homework problems in the textbook
