"FOCUS ON MODELING" SECTIONS SHOW STUDENTS HOW TO APPLY MATHEMATICS: These "Focus on Modeling" sections illustrate modeling techniques as well as how mathematics can be applied to model real-life situations. These sections teach students how to create their own mathematical models rather than use prefabricated formulas.
REAL-WORLD APPLICATIONS ENGAGE STUDENTS: This title draws upon applications from engineering, physics, chemistry, business, biology, environmental studies and other fields to demonstrate how mathematics is used to model real-life situations. This approach reinforces the relevance and importance of the principles students are learning.
TRIGONOMETRY APPROACH PROVIDES FLEXIBILITY IN YOUR INSTRUCTION: The chapters on trigonometry (Chs. 5, 6 and 7) are written so you have a choice of beginning with either the right triangle approach or the unit circle approach. Each approach to trigonometry is accompanied by the applications appropriate for that approach. Students clearly understand the reasons behind the different approaches to trigonometry.
