About this title

Synopsis

Key Message: The second book of a three-part series, An Introduction to Algebraic, Graphical, and Numerical Problem Solving, Third Edition, illustrates how mathematics arises naturally from everyday situations through updated and revised real-life activities and the accompanying practice exercises. Along with the activities and the exercises within the text, MathXL(R) and MyMathLab(TM) have been enhanced to create a better overall learning experience for the reader. Technology integrated throughout the text helps readers interpret real-life data algebraically, numerically, symbolically, and graphically. The active style of this book develops readers' mathematical literacy and builds a solid foundation for future study in mathematics and other disciplines.
Key Topics: Number Sense; Introduction to Problem Solving with Whole Numbers; Problem Solving with Fractions and Decimals (Rational Numbers); Comparisons and Proportional Reasoning; Problem Solving with Signed Numbers; Variable Sense; Interpreting and Constructing Tables and Graphs; Solving Equations Numerically, Graphically, and Algebraically; Mathematical Modeling and Problem Solving; Function Sense and Linear Functions; Function Sense; Introduction to Linear Functions; Problem Solving with Linear Functions; Systems of Two Linear Equations; An Introduction to Nonlinear Problem Solving; Mathematical Modeling Involving Polynomials; Problem Solving with Quadratic Equations; Other Nonlinear Functions
Market: For all readers interested in Algebra.
