Last edition Elsevier The Bittinger Worktext Series recognizes that math hasn’t changed, but students–and the way they learn math–have. This latest edition continues the Bittinger tradition of objective-based, guided learning, while also integrating timely updates to the proven pedagogy. This edition has a greater emphasis on guided learning and helping students get the most out of all of the resources available, including new mobile learning resources, whether in a traditional lecture, hybrid, lab-based, or online course.

- • NEW! 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.
- • Textbook / eText. The textbook or eText is a great starting point for students to learn the material. It includes the hallmark Bittinger pedagogy with Skill to Review exercises at the start of each section, and Margin Exercises, plus NEW! Guided Solutions. The Guided Solution exercises are select margin exercises within the text that allow students to fill-in the blanks to learn how to work through the problem. These problem types are also assignable in MyMathLab, where the exercises are broken down into smaller steps for students to fill-in as they work through the problem.
- • NEW! 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.
- • NEW! Active Learning Figuresare also a great resource to help students understand the concepts.
- 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.
