Description
New to This Edition
This edition introduces new and updated exercises, as well as attention-grabbing chapter openings and projects, which will help instructors and students make connections between algebra and the real world. This edition has gone through extensive copy editing and proofing in an effort to further ensure the accuracy of this textbook. This edition supports the use of graphing calculators as powerful problem-solving and visualization tools, without sacrificing the emphasis of the authors on traditional approaches.
Pedagogic Tools
• Concepts are introduced gradually and supported by fully worked examples, figures, and realistic applications to help students build problem-solving skills.
• Many algebraic procedures are described with the aid of a “split screen” that displays, side by side, both the steps of an algorithm and a worked-out example.
• A Progress Check following many worked-out examples provides an exercise with its answer, enabling the student to test his or her understanding of the presented material.
• Warnings reinforce good mathematical habits by pointing out incorrect practices most commonly found in homework and exams.
• Numerous vignettes have been included throughout the book. These are independent of the text, yet related to the mathematical concepts discussed nearby. They are intended to provide additional interesting material for the student and instructor.
• To help students check their understanding of the concepts, each chapter concludes with a list of terms and symbols and a list of key ideas for review.
• In addition, the Chapter Review Exercises and Review Tests give students a chance to practice what they have learned. The Cumulative Review Exercises at the end of every third chapter provide additional review practice.
