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. Professor Bittinger has also had the privilege of speaking at many mathematics conventions, most recently giving a lecture entitled “Baseball and Mathematics.” His hobbies include hiking in Utah, baseball, golf, and bowling. 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.
Judy Penna received her undergraduate degree in mathematics from Kansas State University and her graduate degree in mathematics from the University of Illinois. Since then, she has taught at Indiana University–Purdue University Indianapolis and at Butler University, and continues to focus on writing quality textbooks for undergraduate mathematics students. In her free time she likes to travel, read, knit, and spend time with her children and grandchildren.
Improve Results With MyMathLab®: the Bittinger courses include all of MyMathLab’s robust features, plus these additional highlights.
- Two MyMathLab course options are now available:
- Standard MyMathLab courses allow instructors to build their courses their way, offering maximum flexibility and control over all aspects of assignment creation.
- Ready to Go courses provide students with all the same great MyMathLab features, but also make it easier for instructors to get started with pre-built AND pre-assigned assignments. The Ready to Go courses also feature a new four-step Learning Path: 1.) Learn the Skills and Concepts, 2.) Check Your Understanding, 3.) Do Your Homework, 4.) Review and Test Your Understanding.
- Increased coverage of skill-building, conceptual, and applications exercises, as well as new assignable Guided-Solution exercises, Skill Checks, and Reading Checks.
- Bittinger Video Program includes all new To-the-Point Objective Videos and Chapter Test Prep Videos. To-the-Point Objective Videos include new Interactive Your Turn Exercises, where students solve exercises and receive instant feedback on their work. The videos also can be used hand-in-hand with the new MyMathGuide workbook.
- MyMathGuide: Notes, Practice, and Video Path is an objective-based workbook (available in print and in MyMathLab) that provides guided, hands-on learning. It offers vocabulary, skill, and concept review —along with problem-solving practice, where students can fill-in the steps to guided solution problems. It can be used together with the To-the-Point Objective Video program—and students can fill-in steps as they watch the videos, listen to the instructor lecture, or read the textbook. It is a loose-leaf workbook with space to show work, write notes, and can serve as a good foundation for a hybrid or self-paced course notebook or lecture notes. MyMathGuide is incorporated into the Learning Path of the Ready to Go courses.
Guide Students’ Learning
- Skills Checks. In the Learning Path for Ready to Go MyMathLab courses, each chapter begins with a brief assignment on the prerequisite skills needed for the chapter, giving students the chance to refresh and practice.
- To-the-Point Objective Videos and MyMathGuide: Notes, Practice, and Video Path workbook are also the perfect resources for helping students learn the material.
- Reading Checks at the beginning of each set of section exercises in the text ask students to demonstrate that they understand the material. They are incorporated in the Ready to Go Learning Path in MyMathLab and assignable in MyMathLab.
Reinforce Study Skills
- Student Study Reference. This pull-out card at the front of the text is perforated, three-hole-punched, and binder-ready for convenient reference. It includes Your Guide to Success in Math course checklist, Student Organizer, and At a Glance (a list of key information and expressions for quick reference as students work exercises and review for tests).
- Studying for Success. Checklists of study skills–designed to ensure that students develop the skills they need to succeed in math, school, and life–are integrated throughout the text at the beginning of selected sections.
- Student Success Module in MyMathLab. This new, interactive module is available in the left-hand navigation of MyMathLab and includes videos, activities, and post-tests for these three student success areas:
- Math-Reading Connections, including topics such as Using Word Clues, and Looking for Patterns.
- Study Skills, including topics such as Time Management and Preparing for and Taking Exams.
- College Success, including topics such as College Transition and Online Learning.
- Instructors can assign these videos and/or activities as media assignments, along with pre-built post-tests to make sure students learn and understand how to improve their skills in these areas. Instructors can integrate these assignments with their traditional MyMathLab homework assignments to incorporate student success topics into their course as they deem appropriate.
