Online Concept Tutorials

Developed in collaboration with Science Technologies specifically for this course, these 45 tutorials feature interactive animations that reinforce conceptual understanding and develop students’ quantitative skills. In-text icons alert students to the availability of a tutorial. All tutorials are available on the free StudySpace website and are integrated into SmartWork. Tutorials can also be accessed from an optional CD-ROM that requires no installation, browser tune-ups, or plug-ins.
