Synopsis:
This edition marks the 23rd anniversary of the publication of this book. Since the first edition, this text has helped liberal arts students experience mathematics rather than just do problems, and become involved with the concepts rather than just get the right answers. Now in its eighth edition, this text goes farther in helping students master mathematics. An emphasis on problem solving and estimation, new problems coupled with numerous in-text study aids, and a student-friendly writing style are designed to give readers the confidence and ability to function in the technological world.
Review: "My overall feeling is the ideas presented in the preface, especially the focus on problem solving, pervade the entire book. The author succeeds in trying to reduce anxiety about the course by presenting topics and ideas that are fresh and relevant without begin out of reach of the student."
