Complete video-based instruction

A team of 4 expert authors created hundreds of short videos that explain concepts and work out examples for every topic in calculus based on the content structure of the acclaimed Thomas’ Calculus text from Pearson. Videos cover everything in Thomas’ Calculus, with additional content on proofs and less-common topics.

Marc Renault

Interactive elements and immediate feedback

Project specific, author created GeoGebra interactive figures are used in the videos AND by students immediately following the video. Students get MyLab Math’s top notch learning aids and ADA accessibility in practice exercises, again, immediately following the videos. Students Watch, Explore, and Practice in a new version of MyLab Math---the Interactive Assignment.

Customization for instructor preference and industry leading prerequisite help

Instructors can easily edit the order of content or add their own videos, interactives, or exercises. Content can be sequential or open to students as a learning experience. Educators can choose from over 10,000 assignable exercises in MyLab Math in addition to the library of prebuilt assignments and prerequisite support resources.
