InterAct Math Tutorial Software has been developed and designed by professional software engineers working closely with a team of experienced developmental-math teachers. The software includes exercises that are linked one-to-one with the odd-numbered exercises in the text and require the same computational and problem-solving skills as their companion exercises in the text. Each exercise has an example and an interactive guided solution that are designed to involve you, the student, in the solution process and to help you identify precisely where you are having trouble. In addition, the software recognizes common errors and provides you with appropriate customized feedback. With its sophisticated answer recognition capabilities, InterAct Math Tutorial Software recognizes equivalent forms of the same answer for any kind of input. It also tracks for each section your progress and scores that can then be printed out. A disk icon at the beginning of each section in your book identifies section coverage. Check with your course instructor about the on-campus availability of this software on your campus. InterAct Math is available for Windows and Macintosh computers, and is FREE over the Internet from this Web site.
