What Can You Do On MyMathLab?
• View Video Lectures For
each section in the book, you can find a lecture that
you can watch online. Once you have logged into your
course, click on the “Chapter Contents” button. After
selecting the chapter and section that you want, click
on the appropriate link to watch the video.
• Try Online Exercises
For each section there is a set of free response
exercises that allow you to practice with the material.
These exercises can be accessed by clicking on the “Do
Homework” button. While working on these exercises,
there are many options available for help. Clicking on
“Help Me Solve This” will walk you through the problem
step by step. Clicking on “View an Example” will show
you a similar problem, worked out completely. Some
exercises have an animation that you can access, which
serves as a mini-lecture on this topic. Click on
“Textbook Pages” to view the related pages from your
textbook. ”Ask My Instructor” sends an email to an
instructor who can help you, via email, with your
problem.
• Take Multiple Choice
Practice Tests For each section in the text, there is a
multiple choice “test” that serves as a review. To
access these “tests” click on the “Take A Test” button.
The problems are generated randomly, and you can attempt
each “test” as many times as you like. In this area you
will also find sample practice tests for each chapter.

a qualified Math Instructor. This help is available by
phone, email, or online whiteboard chat. These
instructors can assist you with any odd problem in your
textbook. To access this Tutor Center, click on the

How do I register for
MyMathLab?
To register for MyMathLab
you will need to have a valid e-mail address,
a student access card (included with your
textbook), and a course code (see below).
If you do not have an email address, visit our school
library’s computer center.
1. Go to
www.coursecompass.com
2. Underneath “Students”
click on the button labeled “Register”. You will be
taken to a page labeled “Before You Start…”. Click on
the button labeled “Next”.
3. If you have not used
MyMathLab before, make sure that the choice “No, I Am A
New User” is selected. Enter your Access Code in the
boxes provided. Your Access Code is located inside the
MyMathLab materials that were packaged with your
textbook. You will be asked to enter the COS’s zip
code, which is 93277, as well as our country
(United States). Once all of the information is entered,
click on “Next”.
4. On the next page,
enter the course id. If you are in Math 200 or Math
205, the course id is cos92894. If you are in
Math 230, the course id is cos14140. Click “Next”.
5. The next page is
labeled Account Information. On this page you will be
choosing a login name and password that will allow you
to log into MyMathLab in the future. After this initial
registration, your login name and password are all that
you will need to access the MyMathLab site. Enter your
first name, last name and email address in the spaces
provided. Select “College of the Sequoias” from the
drop-down box labeled “School Name”. Enter a login name.
(The company suggests using your email address, but it
is up to you.) Your login name must be at least 4
letters and/or numbers long, and cannot contain spaces.
It cannot be the same as anyone else’s login name, so be
sure to choose a unique name that you can remember.
Create a password in the next box, and retype it in the
following box. Finally, select a security question that
you know the answer to, and type that answer in the
following box. Click “Next”. You may be asked to choose
a new login name at this point if your name has already
been chosen by someone else.
It is a good idea to
write down your login name/password for future
reference. If you need any help, email George Woodbury
at georgew@cos.edu.
