James Stewart

The late James Stewart received his M.S. from Stanford University and his Ph.D. from the University of Toronto. He conducted research at the University of London and was influenced by the famous mathematician, George Polya, at Stanford University. Dr. Stewart most recently served as a professor of mathematics at McMaster University and the University of Toronto. His research focused on harmonic analysis. Dr. Stewart authored the best-selling calculus textbook series, including CALCULUS, CALCULUS: EARLY TRANSCENDENTALS and CALCULUS: CONCEPTS AND CONTEXTS, as well as a series of successful precalculus texts and college algebra and trigonometry texts.

Troy Day

Troy Day received his M.S. in biology from the University of British Columbia and his Ph.D. in mathematics from Queen's University. His first academic position was at the University of Toronto, before being recruited back to Queen's University as a Canada Research Chair in Mathematical Biology. He is currently a Professor of Mathematics and Statistics and a Professor of Biology. His research group works in areas ranging from applied mathematics to experimental biology. Troy Day is also coauthor of the widely used book A BIOLOGIST'S GUIDE TO MATHEMATICAL MODELING, published by Princeton University Press in 2007.
  • Diverse Answers: The flexible and powerful answer evaluator accepts diverse interpretations so your students are not penalized for entering a mathematically equivalent or differently formatted answer.
  • Course Packs: Get started with the assignment portion of your course with pre-built assessments designed by subject matter experts. Use these as they are, customize them to your liking or design your own by personally selecting the exercises you wish to assign.
  • By the Book: WebAssign elevates the superior content and pedagogy of the text by offering algorithmically-generated assignments based on end-of-section questions directly from the book.
  • Timely Help: Promote independent learning with a wide range of help tools at the question or assignment level -- such as Watch It videos, Master It tutorials and Read It links to the eBook -- and feedback when students need it to complete assignments and help them learn the concepts.
  • Teach Your Way: Facilitate learning through fully customizable settings, including automatic point adjustments and browser lockdown, empowering you to build the course to your needs and keep students motivated.
  • Grading: WebAssign saves you time spent grading, while providing students with an intuitive experience and instant feedback.
