For courses in Finite Mathematics.




Students learn by seeing and doing math

Interactive Finite Mathematics engages students through a medium that they already use to consume information every day: video. To foster deeper visual and conceptual understanding, Interactive Finite Mathematics weaves together short, dynamic videos, occasional text screens with key ideas and formulas, and MyLab Math assessment questions. 




Interactive Finite Mathematics is built in MyLab Math, replacing the traditional textbook with an online learning experience — and using content that has undergone the same thoughtful development process as Pearson print textbooks. This resource maximizes the hallmark course management features and functionality of the MyLab. The MyLab’s flexibility, combined with the authors’ decades of teaching experience, make Interactive Finite Mathematics an ideal solution – whether it is used in a traditional lecture, online, hybrid, or flipped format. It is the newest addition to Pearson’s Interactive Courses for MyLab Math and Statistics. 




Personalize learning with MyLab Math

By combining trusted author content with digital tools and a flexible platform, MyLab Math personalizes the learning experience and improves results for each student.

About our authors Nathan P. Ritchey earned a B.A. in Mathematics with a minor in Music from Mansfield University of Pennsylvania. He earned an M.S. in Applied Mathematics and a Ph.D. in Mathematics from Carnegie Mellon University. He is former chair of the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at Youngstown State University and is currently a professor in the Department of Mathematics at Kent State University. He has published articles in economics, honors education, medicine, mathematics, operations research and student recruitment. Nate is a Consultant/Evaluator for the North Central Association's Higher Learning Commission and regularly participates in program evaluations. In recognition of his numerous activities, Nate has received the Distinguished Professor Award for University Service, the Youngstown Vindicator's "People Who Make a Difference Award," the Watson Merit Award for Department Chairs, the Spirit in Education Award from the SunTex corporation, and the Provost's Merit Award for significant contributions to the Honors Program. Brian Rickard earned a B.S. in Mathematics, ME.d. in Higher Education, and a Ph.D. in Educational Statistics and Research Methods at the University of Arkansas. He joined the faculty of the J. William Fulbright College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Arkansas in 2009 where he is currently a Teaching Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematical Sciences. In 2013 he was chosen to coordinate and overhaul the Finite Mathematics course into a flipped course and later an online course. He has created over 170 mathematics videos currently in use in Pearson products and conducts research in competing risks analysis, retention and graduation, and university tutoring centers. Roneet Merkin earned a B.A. in Mathematics from Barnard College and a Master’s degree in Mathematics from City College of New York. She joined the faculty at Florida International University in 2014, where she is currently an Instructor in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics as well as Program Director for the Mastery Math Lab. In 2015 she redesigned FIU's online Finite Math course, and in 2016 she co-designed their hybrid Finite Math course. Additionally, Roneet has helped transform several of FIU's 1000-level courses into inquiry-based, active learning courses. She has written over 100 conceptual questions currently in use in the Pearson Finite MyLab Math course by Lial/Greenwell/Ritchey. Roneet's passion is not just teaching math but making math more teachable.
