MyOpenMath
MyOpenMath is a free online homework site, which your instructor may use to assign homework. If that is the case, see your instructor for more information about how to use this free resource.
In addition, there are practice courses set up in MyOpenMath in which you can practice your skills for many of the math courses offered at Lane. You do not need to be enrolled in a math course to use these practice courses. If you’d like to join one of these practice courses, go to www.myopenmath.com to register and then use one of the following course IDs and enrollment keys to enroll in the course of your choice:

Calculator Information for Math Courses
Are calculators required for Math Courses at Lane?
The answer is... it depends. It depends on things like which course and if using a calculator is part of the skill development for the course. It depends on what the instructor preferences are for exams: some allow, some don't allow, and some do for only parts of the exam. It also depends on options given by instructors for using online calculator apps, software, and tools.
Before you buy a calculator, we have some advice:
- Go to class on Day 1. Get the information from your instructor about what they expect you to have and for what kind of use. They should explain it to you on the first day of class and you should be able to find if calculators are allowed on the syllabus, they may also suggest what kind of calculator.
- Explore your options. If you need a calculator you can buy one or you have the option to check out a calculator from the STEM Learning Zone found in Building 16, room 169, for the term. Some instructors are now giving options to their students to use free apps, or software instead of using a hand-held calculator. You may want to ask your instructor about that option.
