Math Lit 2e is now available!

The second edition of Math Lit is now available. Both instructor's and student editions are available now. The MyMathLab course will post the first week of August. In the MML course will be a new Instructor's Resource Manual, Instructor's Solutions Manual, PowerPoints, Learning Catalytics questions, additional videos, new instructor videos, and much more. The MML course will be ready for use in the fall semester.

I will be posting more on the new book soon. In the meantime, please contact your Pearson rep or check out this site if you'd like to see a copy.

Upcoming webinar on second edition of Math Lit

I'll be giving a webinar tomorrow about the lessons we've learned in 5 years of teaching a math literacy course and how those changes have been incorporated into the second edition of Math Lit. The new edition is in print on June 6 and the MyMathLab course will be available the first week of August. If you will be teaching out of the new edition or you're considering using it, this webinar is for you.
