There is an appropriate, flexible use of technology throughout the text, which helps students visualize mathematical concepts. However, technology use is not a requirement for students to benefit from this applications-based text. Appropriate Courses College Algebra with Graphing Calculators Required, Modeling. Chapter summary is now in a grid format to make review easier for students.
Every section contains one or more questions requiring critical thinking.
These questions can be used for either classroom discussion or homework. They require students to apply mathematical concepts beyond what has already been discussed. A wide variety of exercises are provided within each exercise set and emphasis is placed on constructing models and completing word problems. Algebra and Geometry Review Appendix contains some key material from intermediate algebra in a separate appendix at the back of the text. Expanded Graphing Calculator Appendix allows students to work more easily on their own with the calculator and frees up class time for the instructor.
