Summary

Kirk Trigstedrevolutionized the way this course is taught when he created College Algebra, a completely clickable ebook that was written from the ground up within MyMathLab. Recognizing that today#x19;s students start with the homework instead of reading the text, Trigsted created an online learning environment that is a seamless mix of exposition, videos, interactive animations, tutorials, and assessment. This approach leverages the power of MyMathLab and leads students to interact with course materials in a way that is proving to be more effective. With the Second Edition, Trigsted continues to innovate with a revised design that improves navigation and usability, expanded videos, and increased animation coverage.
