What do we have to help?• During the current economic climate as customers struggle to find the
funds to keep their courses current, we have created the Perkins Shopping Site http://www.cengagesites.com/academic/?site=4368
Our Focus Is PRACTICAL MATH APPLICATIONS
Did you know…When students see the connection between
school and career opportunities: They stay in school longer
Work harder
Perform better
Our Focus Is PRACTICAL MATH APPLICATIONS
Where do we go from here?
Think about your courses You already have assignments – how can you change them to
incorporate more math? Cengage Learning may have just solutions you need
Think about your students We’re usually the last stop before they enter the workplace You have an opportunity to make a real difference
