The use of technology is introduced, although not required, through end-of-chapter lab exercises.

About this title

Review

"One of my favorite ideas of this book is the continual stressing of linear functions. This book definitely 'overkills' the concept of linear equations and functions, and that's a good thing.

This text is for students in a two-year Associate in Arts curriculum who are not planning additional course work in mathematics. Material is written in accessible language for students who have been previously intimidated by mathematics. Problems in graphical, numerical, and symbolic formats are included, as well as laboratory exercises and calcula
