Description

Features

• An Algebra Reference chapter begins the text, allowing students to brush up on their algebra skills.
• Section Opening Questions are thought-provoking questions that are revisited throughout the section, providing helpful context as students read the text.
• A wide variety of Applications reference real data from articles in newspapers, journals, and books. Examples with recent data help students learn how extensively mathematics is applied, how it relates to the world around them, and how they can use it. Applied exercises are grouped by subject and highlighted for easy identification.
• Extended Applications appear at the end of all chapters to stimulate student interest and foster in-depth learning. Directions for Group Projects in the Extended Applications provide an opportunity for cooperative learning.
• Diverse Exercise Sets include exercises from Japan's university entrance exam, showing how math is used in a variety of areas around the world. In addition, there are exercises that require writing and conceptualization in order to promote critical thinking, deeper understanding, and integration of concepts and skills. Connection Exercises, denoted with an icon, integrate topics/concepts from different sections. Technology Exercises, denoted with an icon, explore concepts using a graphing calculator or spreadsheet.
• Margin Reviews provide immediate review, or refer students to appropriate review sections as needed.
• Caution boxes warn students of common errors/misconceptions and Note boxes offer additional useful information. Both are highlighted for easy reference.
• Excel^® Spreadsheets are included in examples and exercises where appropriate, allowing students to work problems that closely relate to real-life and business situations.
• Optional Graphing Calculator Integration: graphing calculator discussions and TI-83/84 Plus screens are used in many examples, but are not essential for understanding the text.
• MyMathLab^® provides a complete online course that is customizable by instructors. This Web-based software includes a wide variety of resources from dynamic multimedia to course management tools. With MyMathLab, instructors can help increase student comprehension and success.

New To This Edition

• 30% new or updated exercises in each section keep this text fresh and relevant for today’s students.
• New! Concept Check exercises in the Chapter reviews help students verify their understanding of important topics.
• Updated data and applications use real data from current sources.
• Expanded Chapter Summaries now include important concepts, rules, and formulas, helping students review what they have learned.
• New! Actuarial Problems from real actuarial science examinations and study guides require students to connect a variety of topics to successfully solve a problem. These challenging problems help students to creatively apply what they have learned.
• The Chapter on Logic (Ch. 6) has been re-organized to help the material flow better, helping students learn to create logical proofs.  Almost all word problems have been changed or updated for this edition.

• Alternative solutions and aids for finding solutions have been incorporated into this edition based on the authors’ own classroom experience and reviewer suggestions. For example, alternative procedures are provided for finding solutions (see the alternative procedure for calculating probabilities of poker hands in Chapter 8). See also the additional information on the equations of tangent and secant lines in Chapter 11 and the addition of symmetry as an aid in graphing in Chapter 5.
