Wcs Mathematics Beyond the Numbers: Nonsaleable Items Per Elizabeth Zambrana at Wiley 10/25/02 P.S, Som - Softcover
Synopsis
This edition is written in English. However, there is a running Portuguese thesaurus at the bottom of each page for the more difficult English words highlighted in the text. There are many editions of Eurasia. This edition would be useful if you would like to enrich your Portuguese-English vocabulary, whether for self-improvement or for preparation in advanced of college examinations. Webster's edition of this classic is organized to expose the reader to a maximum number of difficult and potentially ambiguous English words. Rare or idiosyncratic words and expressions are given lower priority compared to "difficult, yet commonly used" English words. Rather than supply a single translation, many words are translated for a variety of meanings in Portuguese, allowing readers to better grasp the ambiguity of English without using the notes as a pure translation crutch. Having the reader decipher a word's meaning within context serves to improve vocabulary retention and understanding. Each page covers words not already highlighted on previous pages. This edition is helpful to Portuguese-speaking students enrolled in an English Language Program (ELP), an English as a Foreign Language (EFL) program, an English as a Second Language Program (ESL), or in a TOEFL or TOEIC preparation program. Students who are actively building their vocabularies in Portuguese or English may also find this useful for Advanced Placement (AP) tests. TOEFL, TOEIC, AP and Advanced Placement are trademarks of the Educational Testing Service which has neither reviewed nor endorsed this book. This book is one of a series of Webster's paperbacks that allows the reader to obtain more value from the experience of reading. Translations are from Webster's Online Dictionary, derived from a meta-analysis of public sources, cited on the site. This edition is written in English.

WHY MATHEMATICS BEYOND THE NUMBERS By Gilbert and Hatcher?
- Students actively do mathematics!
In order to truly appreciate and understand mathematics and its importance, students need to actively do mathematics. For this reason, the emphasis in Gilbert and Hatcher is on teaching mathematical problem-solving skills through carefully constructed examples and a wide and varied selection of exercises.
- Students find mathematics truly relevant!
The extensive use of real data and numerous real-world applications reinforce how vital a role mathematics plays in many areas of our lives. The topics included are either applied so students will appreciate their practicality or simply display the beauty and fun of mathematics.
- Gilbert and Hatcher is totally flexible in organization and use of technology!
Chapters are independent and so can be arranged to fit any syllabus. Although every topic presented in the text can be taught with students using only scientific calculators, the opportunities are also wide-ranging for a more technology-based course. Technology Tip boxes guide students and instructors to the possibilities for using technology. Information on Web-based tools, simulations, Web-testing and tutorials provided free to adopters can be found at the Web site for this text: http://www.wiley.com/college/gilbert
