The DIGITAL UPDATE gives you revised content and resources that keep your course current 

Visualize. Interact. Succeed.

The Graphs and Models series by Bittinger, Beecher, Ellenbogen, and Penna is known to help students “see the math” through its focus on visualization and technology. This series helps students succeed with its consistent approach: focus on functions, visual emphasis, side-by-side algebraic and graphical solutions, and real-data applications. 

 

For the new Digital Update with Corequisite Support, the author team has expanded and enhanced instruction on review topics needed for today’s corequisite courses and for students who come to the course underprepared. Each title in the series has Integrated Review, giving students just the help they need when they need it. The authors have built tools specifically for underprepared students—tools that can be used by students independently via videos and notebook, or by instructors through integrating activities and interactive media into the classroom. 

 

Ideal both for standard course needs or for courses with students who require additional preparation, this robust, just-in-time approach to corequisites gives instructors complete flexibility in implementation no matter how their courses are set up.

Marvin Bittinger has been teaching math at the university level for more than thirty-eight years. Since 1968, he has been employed at Indiana University—Purdue University Indianapolis, and is now professor emeritus of mathematics education. Professor Bittinger has authored over 190 publications on topics ranging from basic mathematics to algebra and trigonometry to applied calculus. He received his BA in mathematics from Manchester College and his PhD in mathematics education from Purdue University. Special honors include Distinguished Visiting Professor at the United States Air Force Academy and his election to the Manchester College Board of Trustees from 1992 to 1999. His hobbies include hiking in Utah, baseball, golf, and bowling. Professor Bittinger has also had the privilege of speaking at many mathematics conventions, most recently giving a lecture entitled "Baseball and Mathematics." In addition, he also has an interest in philosophy and theology, in particular, apologetics. Professor Bittinger currently lives in Carmel, Indiana, with his wife, Elaine. He has two grown and married sons, Lowell and Chris, and four granddaughters.
