From the Back Cover

This book provides a solid foundation in algebra with the exceptional pedagogy, clear and well-constructed writing style, superb problem-solving strategies, and other qualities that have made the Martin-Gay series so successful. Graphing calculators are introduced in chapter 1, first as a calculating tool and then in chapter 2 as a graphing utility. An increased emphasis on data interpretation; real data is integrated throughout. With the emphasis on interpreting data via graphs, readers reinforce what they've learned visually and see math's tangibility. Exercise sets include real data. The sets are graded in level of difficulty, and feature conceptual and current data from environmental science, allied health, astronomy, business and other disciplines.
