MyMathLab (MML) on-line homework system and textbook (required)

  1. Register for an account with the publisher Pearson through their on-line MML system at www.mymathlab.com
  2. You have two options for purchasing the text and access to the MML system:

    (i) There is a bundled version of a 24 month accesss code to the on-line MML homework system, an electronic textbook, and soft-cover textbook. We have negotiated a discounted price of $112.49 for this bundled version. The bundle is available through the BU Bookstore Purchase of the bundle will give you a passcode for the MML website, through which you access the on-line homework system. Once the purchased MML code is used, you may not be able to get a full refund on your text. You can access MML for 14 days at no cost - see below. Note that you must be connected to the internet each time you use the on-line homework system.

    (ii) You can buy a one-year digital-only access code (which includes access to the e-text, but no softcover text) for $111.71, also at the BU Bookstore.

  3. The MML course ID for this course is szczesny54757
  4. If you have an MML account from taking MA123 here at Boston University during the past two years, then that account is still valid with the passcode that you used in MA123, and you do not need to purchase anything.
  5. The MML passcode that you receive for MA124 (or have from MA123) also gives you access to the textbook and materials for MA 225.
  6. Do not purchase a used textbook unless you can get a good deal on a usable MyMathLab passcode separately.
  7. (USEFUL INFO) You can access this course on MyMathLab at NO COST for 14 days without a passcode. After that, you will need a code. Therefore, a MyMathLab passcode is required eventually for all students.
