DellenTest, a menu-driven random test system for either IBM-compatible or Macintosh computers, is available to instructors without cost. The test system has been greatly expanded and includes over 320 different problem algorithms directly related to material in this text. Carefully constructed algorithms use random-number generators to produce different, yet equivalent, versions of each of these problems. In addition, the system incorporates a unique editing function that allows the instructor to create additional problems, or alter any of the existing problems in the test, using a full set of mathematical notation. The test system offers free-response, multiple-choice, and mixed exams. An almost unlimited number of quizzes, review exercises, chapter tests, midterms, and final examinations, each different from the other, can be generated quickly and easily. At the same time, the system will produce answer keys, student worksheets, and a gradebook for the instructor, if desired.

An Instructor's Test Battery is also available to instructors at no extra cost. The battery, organized by chapter, contains three equivalent versions (with answers) of over 320 different problems.

An Instructor's Resource Manual provides over 130 transparency masters, a detailed discussion of chapter and topic dependencies, a comparison of this edition with the previous edition, and a detailed chart for comparing this book with other books in the authors' College Mathematics series.

An Instructor's Answer Manual contains all the answers not included in the text and is available to the instructor free of charge.

A Student's Solutions Manual by Garret J. Etgen is available to instructors without charge from the publisher.

Computer software and accompanying manuals for Explorations in Finite Mathematics and Visual Calculus by David Schneider are available to instructors without charge.The manual contains complete instructions for using the software, eliminating the need to spend class time discussing these details, and examples and exercises for the student. In addition to providing students with the opportunity to use the computer as an effective tool in the learning process, instructors will find the software very useful for activities such as preparing examples for class, constructing test questions, and classroom demonstrations.

A Graphics Calculator Manual by Carolyn L. Meitler is available to instructors without charge from the publisher. The manual contains all the necessary information for a student with no previous experience with a graphic calculator, eliminating the need for the instructor to prepare materials related to calculator usage. In particular, separate appendixes for the TI-81, TI-82, TI-83, and TI-85 graphic calculators contain detailed instructions, including calculator-specific keystrokes, for performing the various operations required to effectively use each of these calculators to solve problems in the text. Furthermore, the methods illustrated for these calculators are easily adapted to other graphing utilities. The manual is very effective both for a class where all students purchase the same calculator and in a setting where students are using a variety of different calculators—an important consideration as more and more students arrive at college having already purchased a graphic calculator.

A Supplemental Applications and Topics manual by Jon E. Baum is available to instructors without charge from the publisher. Instructors can use Part I of this manual to supplement the exercise sets in the text, providing students with additional experience in solving applications utilizing the mathematics presented in the text. Part II of the manual can be used to provide coverage of applications not covered in the text, such as transportation problems, assignment problems, sensitivity analysis, and a variety of finance topics, either as part of the syllabus for a course or as subjects for independent study.

A Z-graph Hypercard^® graphing stack for the Apple Macintosh^®, allows a user to graph most of the mathematical functions likely to be encountered quickly, accurately, and with considerable control over axes, scales, graph size, and labeling. In addition to graphing functions, this program will perform a variety of mathematical operations related to numerical integration, root approximation, interpolating polynomials, least-square polynomials, and approximate solutions of differential equations. Instructors will find this program useful for preparing examination material, transparency masters, and handouts. The publisher will supply this program free of charge to instructors using this book, and the program may be freely distributed to students.
