From the Publisher:
This book has been written from the ground up as an integrated, combined book.
The authors have used the AMATYC Standards as a guiding document in writing the book.
The use of the graphing calculator is assumed, and the authors use the graphing calculator to explain a large number of real-data applications.
Concepts are presented using "Rule of Four" (multiple representations of mathematical solutions to problems, including graphical, algebraic, numerical, and verbal approaches).
"Multiple Perspectives" text boxes feature two or more of the Rule of Four approaches (numerical, algebraic, graphical, verbal) to solving a given problem.
