The goal of this book is to provide a solid mathematical foundation via visualization of real world data.
Technology is used as a tool to solve problems, motivate concepts, explore and preview mathematical concepts and to find curves of best fit to the data. Most mathematical concepts are developed and illustrated both algebraically and graphically, with the more intuitive and appropriate method presented first. Also included in this book is a foreshadowing of calculus through the chapter on Limits and Derivatives.
