Basic Mathematics through Applications - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

The second edition of Akst/Bragg's Basic Mathematics through Applications brings you even more of a good thing!

Throughout the text, motivating real-world applications, examples, and exercises demonstrate how integral mathematical understanding is to student mastery in other disciplines, a variety of occupations, and everyday situations. A distinctive side-by-side format, pairing each example with a corresponding practice exercise, encourages students to get actively involved in the mathematical content from the start. Unique Mindstretchers target different levels and types of student understanding in one comprehensive section problem set per section. Mindstretchers incorporate related investigation, critical thinking, reasoning, and pattern recognition exercises along with corresponding group work and historical connections. Compelling Historical Notes give students more evidence that mathematics grew out of a universal need to find efficient solutions to everyday problems. Plenty of practice exercises provide ample opportunity for students to thoroughly master basic mathematics skills and develop confidence in their understanding. Finally, new MyMathLab icons in the margins of the text indicate to students that there is a video clip, animated example, or practice exercise for them to explore on-line if you take advantage of the package deal.
