Computing Requirements for MAT 115, MAT 120, MAT 150, and MAT 151
These courses have an online teaching component provided by the required textbook publisher. The online portal for these math courses, http://www.coursecompass.com, requires the installation of the MyMathLab plugin. The MyMathLab plugin is currently only supported under Microsoft Windows Operating Systems. For full MyMathLab requirements please visit this web site: http://www.mymathlab.com/system.html. If you are using an Apple Macintosh computer, then you will need to install Microsoft Windows on your computer either using a Virtual Machine emulator or using Apple's Boot Camp - http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/bootcamp.html dual booting software. A few examples of Virtual Machine software for Macintosh computers include:
- Parallels - http://www.parallels.com/en/products/desktop/
- VMware Fusion - http://www.vmware.com/products/fusion/
If you have trouble installing the required plugins on your computer the Microsoft Windows PCs in the campus computer labs already have the plugins installed and configured. Thus, you can always complete your assignments in one of the campus computer labs. ITS computer lab hours and locations are available here: http://its.uncg.edu/Labs/Hours/.
