Written in a clear and friendly voice that speaks to students with varying algebra skills, with a rich array of pedagogical devices to support their learning, this text teaches students to look at math from both algebraic and geometric viewpoints. Williams focuses on the underlying concepts, introducing and using the graphing calculator as an integral means, not an end.
