MATHEMATICS IN ACTION - AN INTRODUCTION TO ALGEBRAIC, GRAPHICAL AND NUMERICAL PROBLEM SOLVING

Designed to engage the student as an active participant in the classroom, the 'Mathematics in Action' series presents concepts using real-life activities and reinforces those concepts with practice exercises in the text and in MyMathLab. The second book of a three-part series, 'An Introduction to Algebraic, Graphical, and Numerical Problem Solving', Third Edition, illustrates how mathematics arises naturally from everyday situations through updated and revised real-life activities and the accompanying practice exercises. Along with the activities and the exercises within the text, MathXL and MyMathLab have been enhanced to create a better overall learning experience for the student. This unique approach helps students increase their knowledge of mathematics, sharpen their problem-solving skills, and raise their overall confidence in their ability to learn. Technology integrated throughout the text helps students interpret real-life data algebraically, numerically, symbolically, and graphically. The active style of this book develops students' mathematical literacy and builds a solid foundation for future study in mathematics and other disciplines.
