Description
This text is designed to meet the needs of today's technical students and takes a highly visual approach. Explanations of math concepts, with problem sets and examples that draw from real-world applications, challenge students to learn and apply mathematics in a real-world context. Graphing calculators are covered and supplements are available for each brand and model. Hints, notes and cautions provide supplemental problem-solving techniques. Definitions, guidelines and summaries of key ideas are boxed for easy reference for easy identification, and each non-review section contains at least two writing exercises.
