In the homework section, homework for different chapters is placed on different icon buttons. Assignments for different chapters are also accessible in this section. This section also contains questions for chapters and can provide help in solving these questions. For example, the interactive graphic tools are provided in Chapter 1 Homework Objective 1 question 1, by which students can easily solve such questions.

The tools section provides the following tools.

• Review
• Graphing Calculator Help
• Support for technology
• Additional extended applications
• Digraphs and networks
• Interactive figures

The basic aim of this section is to provide various tools that can be utilized while solving questions. For example, the graphic calculator can be utilized while working with a data set. It requires entering the data and then using the calculator various statistical analyses can be done on the given data set all such info is provided in the ‘Graphing Calculator Help’ and the ‘review’ tab provides summarised content that may be needed while dealing with mathematical problems. The ‘Support for technology’ tab also includes useful guides for using the graphic calculator and working on MS Excel. ‘The extended applications tab provides various case studies where the mathematical tools are utilized for solving problems in the real world. The mathematical application in the management sciences and social sciences fields are discussed in ‘Diagraphs and networks’. The interactive figures tab is yet to be provided to the students as it is mentioned there ‘coming soon’ (Tools for success).
