About this product
This text bridges the gap between traditional and reform approaches to algebra encouraging students to see mathematics in context. It presents fewer topics in greater depth, prioritizing data analysis as a foundation for mathematical modeling, and emphasizing the verbal, numerical, graphical and symbolic representations of mathematical concepts as well as connecting mathematics to real life situations drawn from the students' majors.
The problems, the models and the real life data are the three features of this book. They are used to relate the mathematics to the students' lives and to show the usefulness and relevance of the mathematics to the modern reality.
