Access Code and Optional Text

The required material for this course are from McGraw Hill's PreCalculus, 2nd edition, by Julie Miller and Donna Gerken

2nd edition

Only the ALEKS access code is required - ISBN 8220130749668.

*Note: If you would like a loose leaf copy of the textbook in addition to the required ALEKS access code, use ISBN 9781265383350.

The ALEKS online class site is where you will find an online version of the text, video tutorials, practice problems, personal study guide, and your assigned homework and quizzes.  You may start using the site as soon as it is opened; just create an account and get started.  If your instructor has sent an announcement with an Financial Aid Access Code, you may follow the directions to use that code for up to 14 days.  Please note that when you do buy the code, the amount of time purchased starts from the first time you accessed the course in ALEKS, not from when you bought the code.  If the temporary code expires, your work will not be lost and you will be able to access everything once you purchase access.  If you would like to purchase a hard copy of the textbook, a loose-leaf version is available for a nominal fee.
