Textbook Extensions

Welcome to Chapter Enhancements.

These Chapter Enhancements are being updated as the semester proceeds. If they don't match the current edition of the textbook, it is because I am still behind in the update process.

You will find two types of information here. Under Learning Objectives you can review the major learning objectives for each chapter. These questions and points of importance may help you focus your studying.

Click on Chapter Enrichments below to find resources that are not included in our textbook. Some of these resources are easy to understand and simply offer alternative explanations to those in the textbook. Some of the sites are just fun, while others are more challenging and should push you to expand your understanding. Finally, some sites offer exercises that will give you new insights into the topics..
