Required Materials

1.               Access to the online MyMathLab Online materials

Please DO NOT purchase a used access code. Access codes can only be used once!

You can purchase the required access directly from the publisher at:

www.pearsonmylabandmastering.com/ 
(If you purchase directly from the publisher, your access to the class materials will be immediate and you will be able to work in the materials immediately. You will need a credit card to do this.)

Or

You can purchase the required access from the MiraCosta bookstore.
(If you purchase your access online from the bookstore, you may have to wait several days to get the access and begin working in the class materials. If you do not have access to a credit card, you will need to purchase in-person from the bookstore since they do take cash and checks. Since this is an online class, the bookstore only keeps stock at the Oceanside campus.)

Registration into the MyMathLab online materials will be needed in order to complete your mandatory orientation. Failure to purchase, register and complete work in the required online materials will result in being dropped from the class.

You will need the appropriate Course ID Code given below in order to get into the online materials for your class. Please pay very close attention when choosing your Course ID Code.

More information about the MyMathLab online materials can be found at www.pearsonmylabandmastering.com/ .  

It is NOT required that you have your own computer at home for this class. All of the computers in the MLC at MiraCosta College are configured to work with MyMathLab.    

2.         A current valid school or government issued ID Card
You must show current ID to take each of your on-site assessments in the MLC

 

3.           Calculator
 

    Math 64: A scientific calculator is needed for this course. You may borrow one from the Academic Proctoring Center (APC) with a photo ID to use on any Chapter Test or the Final Exam.

Not Allowed:

a.    Any calculator that can graph any type of function.

b.    Any calculator that allows for one to type in variables into the calculator.

c.    Any calculator that allows the use of downloadable and/or user created programs.

d.    Any calculator that allows for one to type “words” onto the screen.

e.    Any calculator that solves equations, inequalities, or systems of equations/inequalities.

     Math 131: A graphing calculator is needed for this course. If you do not already have a graphing calculator, the Mathematics department recommends that you purchase a Texas Instruments TI-83 Plus or TI-84 graphing calculator. You may borrow one from the Academic Proctoring Center (APC) with a photo ID to use on any Chapter Test or the Final Exam. Expect every Chapter Test and the Final Exam to have two parts: one part will be without the use of any calculator and the other part a graphing calculator will be required.

4.           A notebook for note taking and working problems
You should treat this class as you would any other math class. Take notes in a notebook, work practice or homework problems on paper before submitting answers, etc. I don't usually check your math notebook. However, I may ask to see it (via fax or .pdf) if you begin to fall behind or start consistently scoring low on Quizzes.
