Synopsis:

Maintaining its hallmark features of carefully detailed explanations and accessible pedagogy, this edition also addresses the AMATYC and NCTM Standards. In addition to the changes incorporated into the text, a new integrated video series and multimedia tutorial program are also available. Designed for a one-semester basic math course, this successful worktext is appropriate for lecture, learning center, laboratory, or self-paced courses.

From the Publisher: Chapter summaries and exercises are found at the end of every chapter and highlight main ideas. Cumulative reviews begin with Chapter Two and serve as a review of the major topics presented to that point in the text. There are pre-tests before each chapter.
Exercise Sets and real-world applications support the NCTM/AMATYC Standards and expose students to a more active and meaningful understanding of mathematics and how it relates to everyday life. Technology examples and exercises support both scientific and graphing calculators.
Active Learning is stressed via "Check Yourself" boxes which follow every example. Students are asked to apply what they have just learned and are able to receive immediate feedback.
Emphasis on modeling real phenomena. This is accomplished by means of mathematical relationships.
Six sections at the beginning of the text open with a suggestion on "Overcoming Math Anxiety."
Text is available on Primis.
ALEKS
Material on lines, angles, and triangles has been added.
This text is packaged with a free text-specific CD. The SMART CD contains algorithmically generated problems at the chapter and section level, as well as tutorials for each section.
