Math Lit: A Pathway to College Mathematics
Almy, Foes
2nd ed ©2017
An accelerated pathway through developmental math
Math Lit: A Pathway to College Mathematics by Kathleen Almy and Heather Foes offers an accelerated pathway through developmental math, allowing non-STEM students to move directly into liberal arts math or introductory statistics. Through its emphasis on contextual problem solving, the Almy/Foes worktext and its accompanying MyMathLab® for School course help students gain this mathematical maturity necessary to be successful in a college-level non-STEM math class.
Students work through carefully designed explorations, activities, and instruction to garner a greater conceptual understanding of the major themes of numeracy, proportional reasoning, algebraic reasoning, and functions. Enhancements in the second edition have increased the versatility and ease of use for students and teachers alike.

Intermediate Algebra
Sullivan, Struve
4th ed ©2018
Helping students innovatively “do the math”
Intermediate Algebra introduces students to the logic, precision, and rigor of mathematics, while building a foundation for success in future math courses.
Known for their hallmark examples that give students extra step-by-step support, the authors have continued their successful text pedagogy and have focused in the revision to translating it to the MyMathLab for School course for a truly dynamic learning and teaching experience. Key revisions to the MyMathLab course include guided “how to” exercises, modeled on the successful show case examples and new author developed GeoGebra applet exercises.
