Mathematics for Life

Utilizing collaborative learning on computers, this book shows students how to work together to solve everyday problems which require mathematical solutions.

Designed to teach students to use mathematics and technologies in formulating and solving real-world problems. This lab-based text focuses on developing quantitative reasoning skills and requires students to work collaboratively in small groups. Combining technology with cooperative learning strategies creates a rich experiential learning environment where instructors become facilitators rather than lecturers, and students learn skills that can improve their performance in subsequent courses and later in life.
