This access kit will provide you with a code to get into MyMathLab, a personalized interactive learning environment, where you can learn mathematics and statistics at your own pace and measure your progress. In order to use MyMathLab, you will need a CourseID provided by your instructor; MyMathLab is not a self-study product and does require you to be in an instructor-led course. MyMathLab includes:
Interactive tutorial exercises:MyMathLab's homework and practice exercises are correlated to the exercises in the relevant textbook, and they regenerate algorithmically to give you unlimited opportunity for practice and mastery. Most exercises are free-response and provide an intuitive math symbol palette for entering math notation. Exercises include guided solutions, sample problems, and learning aids for extra help at point-of-use, and they offer helpful feedback when students enter incorrect answers.
eBook with multimedia learning aids:MyMathLab courses include a full eBook with a variety of multimedia resources available directly from selected examples and exercises on the page. You can link out to learning aids such as video clips and animations to improve their understanding of key concepts.
Study plan for self-paced learning:MyMathLab's study plan helps you monitor your own progress, letting you see at a glance exactly which topics you need to practice. MyMathLab generates a personalized study plan for you based on your test results, and the study plan links directly to interactive, tutorial exercises for topics you haven't yet mastered. You can regenerate these exercises with new values for unlimited practice, and the exercises include guided solutions and multimedia learning aids to give students the extra help they need.

access code not providedSep 01, 2009
By Maureen E. Schwartz I purchased this book/online program for my sophomore college student daughter. The book came on time, but the access code to the online program was already used and this was not disclosed to me when I purchased it. Why would I purchase a computer program if it is invalid and we can't get on line? The professor uses this program in his class because going on line for assignments is a REQUIREMENT of the class.
Buyers beware! I have requested help with the refund policy and I'm awaiting a response.

DO NOT BUYJan 15, 2011
By Casi I bought the access code from Amazon thinking I could trust them to give me the correct product, as I am an avid Amazon fan. However, the code was invalid. After sitting on the phone with Pearson (who runs MyMathLab) for almost an hour, they finally told me they couldn't do anything for me because it was a made up code. Whether it really is made up or just an expired one, I really don't know. Amazon was nice enough to overnight me a replacement, only for me to be told it too was invalid.
My professor warned us not to purchase them off the internet and I learned the hard way to listen to him. I hope this doesn't happen to anyone else!

Useless tech supportJan 25, 2010
By James Gerhart
"Please burn this book"
Lets face it, the only reason you'll buy this is because you're being bent over the barrel by your college's math department. The publisher of this product knows this full well and their tech support department takes it into account when dealing with you.
When my copy of this product arrived I tried to use the code to register in my course, but MyMathLab said the code was "not found." I double checked everything and finally called tech support, who made up about 6 different excuses to simply get me off the line. Next, they said to contact Amazon because the kit was from a third party and that instead I should purchase a key from them - for $77. I refused and told them this product was clearly from their company and should give me access to MyMathLab as it was advertised, but failing that they should tell me exactly what the key was for.
The customer service agent finally said they would send the key to "tier two support" who would help me "soon." Two days later they hadn't contacted me through email, as was promised, so I called the customer support line again. The representative only said that tier two would be in contact with me "soon" and that they had no specific time, but again offered to sell me a key over the phone.
It has now been two weeks without hearing from "tier two support" and I had to buy an access code directly from the publisher, which is exactly what the company wanted. Thankfully Amazon was great about accepting the return.
This issue reflects very poorly on Addison-Wesley and Pearson Education, but frankly, they have no reason to be helpful. If you've purchased this product it's because you're forced to and if the code doesn't work, your only other courses of action involve either dropping or failing the course. Good luck with that.

For college homeworkFeb 14, 2009
By HappyinNorthCarolina I have to use this to do my homework online. Other students in my class paid almost twice as much using the campus bookstore than I did for the exact same product.

It is what it is...Feb 12, 2009
By J. Jang This is a waste of money but it's required for many University math courses. It is essentially a BlackBoard that is for math courses.
