Description

Blitzer continues to raise the bar with his engaging applications developed to motivate students from diverse majors and backgrounds. Thinking Mathematically, Fifth Edition, draws from the author’s unique background in art, psychology, and math to present math in the context of real-world applications.

 

Students in this course are not math majors, and they may never take a subsequent math course, so they are often nervous about taking the class. Blitzer understands those students’ needs and provides helpful tools in every chapter to help them master the material. Voice balloons appear right when students need them, showing what an instructor would say when leading a student through the problem. Study tips, chapter review grids, Chapter Tests, and abundant exercises provide ample review and practice.

 

The Fifth Edition’s MyMathLab® course boasts more than 2,000 assignable exercises, plus a new question type for applications-driven questions that correlate to section openers in the textbook. Chapter Test Prep Videos show students how to work out solutions to the Chapter Tests; the videos are available on DVD, in MyMathLab, and on YouTube™.


Features

  • The variety of topics and flexibility of sequence make this text appropriate for a one- or two-term course in liberal arts mathematics, quantitative reasoning, finite mathematics, mathematics for education majors, and courses specifically designed to meet state-mandated requirements in mathematics.
  • Blitzer’s hallmark applications keep students motivated and pull from timely real-world events and data.
    • Chapter openers and section openers present compelling applications, helping students to realize that mathematics is everywhere. Each vignette poses a question and explores how the section’s subject can be applied to answer the question. These scenarios are then revisited in the chapter or section.
    • Interesting applications from all disciplines, supported by up-to-date, real-world data, are included in every section. Students see how mathematics can be used to solve real problems.
    • The latest applications and real-world data are compiled from hundreds of books, magazines, newspapers, almanacs, and online sites. For the Fifth Edition, 265 worked-out examples and application exercises are based on new data.
    • Blitzer Bonus enrichment essays appear throughout the text, covering a variety of interesting applications.
  • Blitzer’s unique background–with degrees in psychology and mathematics, plus 30 years of teaching at Miami Dade Community College–lead to a text that reflects what today’s students need to succeed in this course.
    • Clearly stated section objectives help students recognize and focus on the most important ideas. Objectives are restated in the margin when the concept appears in the text.
    • Worked-out, annotated examples are written clearly and provide step-by-step solutions to help students work through “sticking points” that can cause frustration. Conversational annotations help students understand the solutions by providing the reasoning behind the mathematics.
    • Voice balloons translate mathematical language into plain English, clarifying problem-solving procedures, presenting alternative ways of understanding, and connecting complex problems to the basic concepts students have already learned.
    • Check Points follow each worked example with a similar problem so students have an opportunity to immediately test comprehension through additional practice. The answers to the Check Points are provided in the answer section.
    • Study Tip boxes offer suggestions for problem solving, point out common errors to avoid, and provide informal hints and suggestions. By seeing common mistakes, students learn to avoid them.
  • Extensive, well-organized exercise sets parallel Examples at the end of each section.
    • Exercises are organized into six categories for instructor flexibility: Practice Exercises, Application Exercises, Writing in Mathematics, Technology Exercises, Critical Thinking Exercises, and Group Activity Exercises.
    • The order of the practice exercises matches the order of the section’s illustrative examples. This parallel arrangement enables students to refer to the titled examples and their detailed explanations to successfully complete the practice exercises.
  • End-of-chapter material is designed to help students review and study.
    • Chapter review grids summarize key definitions and important concepts with examples to direct students to the most important material.
    • Chapter review exercises, a comprehensive collection of review exercises for each of the chapter’s sections, follow the review grid.
    • Chapter Tests enable students to assess their understanding of the contents from the entire chapter. Chapter Test Prep Videos–available to students on DVD, MyMathLab, or YouTube™–work through every Chapter Test problem so students get extra help when studying.
  • MyMathLab® provides students with a personalized interactive learning environment, where they can learn at their own pace and gain immediate feedback and help. MyMathLab engages students in active learning–it’s modular, self-paced, accessible anywhere with Web access, and adaptable to each student’s learning style.

New To This Edition

  • Annotated Instructor’s Edition provides the answers to all problems right on the page where the questions appear. Longer answers are in the back of the book.
  • New applications and real-world data, compiled from hundreds of books, magazines, newspapers, almanacs, and online sites, illustrate mathematical applications. For the Fifth Edition, 265 worked-out examples and application exercises are based on new data.
  • 773 new examples and exercises include 26 detailed worked-out examples using new data, 239 new application exercises, 308 “Make Sense?” discussion exercises, and 22 new exercises in various other exercise sets.
  • Revised exercises throughout the book encourage reasoning skills, rather than providing guidance and instructions that cause students to solve problems mechanically. True-false exercises are also revised, so that if a statement is false, students are asked how to edit the statement to make it true.
  • New assignable MyMathLab questions are available that correlate to chapter- and section-opening applications, letting instructors assign questions that are connected to the applications in the textbook. These questions emphasize the highly relevant applications for which this book is known.
  • “Make Sense?” classroom discussion exercises contain four critical thinking exercises that foster participation in the learning process. These questions ask students to determine whether statements are sensible and then explain why or why not, encouraging students to think critically and put their thoughts into words.
  • Content and organizational changes include:
    • Section 1.1 (Inductive and Deductive Reasoning) contains a new worked example and new exercises on finding counterexamples.
    • Section 2.2 (Subsets) includes a discussion to help students avoid confusing the symbols for subset and proper subset.
    • Chapter 3 (Logic) has additional voice balloons attached to the truth tables to clarify the truth values in the columns.
      • Section 3.3 (Truth Tables for Negation, Conjunction, and Disjunction) has a boxed, step-by-step procedure on constructing truth tables for compound statements.
      • Section 3.5 (Equivalent Statements and Variations of Conditional Statements) and Section 3.6 (Negations of Conditional Statements and De Morgan’s Laws) discuss in two sections what had been covered in a single section in the previous edition.
    • Chapter 4
      • Section 4.1 (Our Hindu-Arabic System and Early Positional Systems) contains more examples and exercises on converting Babylonian numerals and Mayan numerals to Hindu-Arabic numerals.
