Hawkes’ Calculus expert, Marvin Glover, takes a closer look at two components of the Hawkes Calculus courseware: Step-by-Step and Explain Error. These unique features thoughtfully guide students through the exercise solution process, with their level of detail setting Hawkes apart from other courseware systems.

• Step-By-Step carefully leads students through the process of understanding the problem and methodically solving it. It imitates the worked-out Solution also provided in the courseware.
  • An example is drawn from a lesson on infinite series.
• Explain Error anticipates common mistakes and, when made, immediately prompts students to address them by specifically pointing out the likely source of these errors.
  • An example is drawn from a lesson on vector calculus.​
