Digital Video Tutors for the Essential of Mathematics textbook

In the room C109 of the classroom building (the tutoring lab), several computers have copies of the video tutors that are provided by publisher of the text book, Essential Mathematics 2nd Ed. by Lial.

The videos go along with the textbook, so that if you need help in section 4 of chapter 3, there is a video lecture of that exact section.

InteractMath for the Essential Mathematics book

For students who are using the Essentials Mathematics book (by Lial - 2nd edition), there is a free website that goes directly along with your book.  If you are working section 4.4 (see the example below), you can find problems that are similar on the website, and you can choose "Help Me Solve This" and "View and Example" to see step by step interactive solutions.

This is a resource that can be of particular help when the section being covered is one that contains word problems!

The website can be found at the website www.interactmath.com.
