WEBASSIGN: ELEMENTARY LINEAR ALGEBRA, Eight Edition, is the powerful online homework and course management system that engages students in learning the math. WebAssign includes new end-of-chapter exercises and pre-built assignments vetted by trusted subject matter experts along with robust course, section, assignment, and question settings and online testing to help instructors foster a deeper understanding of course concepts.
To motivate students by emphasizing the relevance of the content, each chapter opener contains a list of sections, five photos with references to applications, and an arrow indicating the section in which each application appears.
Capstone exercises, each of which covers several concepts, are available in each section. Conceptual in nature, they reinforce key ideas learned in the section without being time-consuming or tedious for students.
Learning objectives are available at the beginning of every section and online at the student website for quick reference and/or review.
