MyLab Math for Trigsted/Gallaher/Bodden Intermediate Algebra -- Access Card -- PLUS Guided Notebook

Kirk Trigsted teaches Precalculus at the University of Idaho, with 2000 students each year in a combined classroom and laboratory setting. He has been Director of the Polya Mathematics Center at the University of Idaho since its inception in 2001. Kirk has served as a consultant and redesign scholar for various projects through the National Center for Academic Transformation (NCAT). He is the lead author of an interactive, completely clickable MyMathLab series built from the ground up within MyMathLab. There are over 12 programs in his series spanning from Basic Math-Precalculus and Trigonometry.   Randy Gallaher is a professor of mathematics at Lewis & Clark Community College, where he has taught since 1997. Prior to this position, Randy taught high school and middle school mathematics for five years in Missouri. He holds a master’s degree in mathematics from Southeast Missouri State University and has completed additional graduate coursework at both Missouri State University and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He has coauthored ancillary materials for numerous math and statistics textbooks and has worked as a math author on several grant projects for the Illinois Community College Board. Randy is married with three children and spends most evenings actively involved in their activities. In his limited free time, he loves to fish the small rivers and streams of southern Missouri.   Kevin Bodden is a professor of mathematics at Lewis & Clark Community College where he has taught since 1999. He holds a master’s degree in mathematics from Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville and a master’s degree in engineering from Purdue University. He has authored or co-authored ancillary material for numerous textbooks ranging from basic college math to calculus and statistics. He has contributed videos for several of these textbooks and has authored math content on grant projects for the Illinois Community College Board. Kevin is married with three children and is actively involved in their school and extracurricular activities. In his spare time, he enjoys soccer, camping, and geocaching.
