Midsummer Update!

As usual, the summer is flying by, but Jeffrey and I continue to work on the book as our schedules permit.  (Our summers have not been as free as we had first hoped!)  Chapter 0 is coming along, and, if nothing else, an edited narrative will be available for Fall 2013.  (The exercise sets will be coming along afterwards.)  Chapter 0 is a 10 section targeted review of essential developmental skills - everything from arithmetic through radicals.  In other news, we've learned folks from Scottsdale CC and Phoenix College have created a wonderful, full-featured open online course based on our book.  It can be found at:  https://www.myopenmath.com/course/course.php?cid=921  You'll need to register at myopenmath to see it, however.  (Student registration is instantaneous;  faculty registration requires a bit more - but it's all free!)  Also, William Pierpoint (California State Univeristy, Channel Islands) has graciously donated his materials.  Check the "Ancillaries" page for a summary sheet and some very nice powerpoints (both in .pdf and .ppt format) - including a very nice extension of the material in 9.2 to car and student loans.  There more exciting things "in the works" and we just can't thank you folks enough for spending your time to help us make quality education affordable!
