New full color design is used pedagogically for clearer understanding of figures and concepts. - NEW! MyMathLab is now available for this text for the first time. All of the texts many electronic resources can be found on MyMathLab. - NEW! MathXL is now available for the text, allowing students to take tests and quizzes online. - NEW! A Finite Version of the text is now available, which includes Chapters 1-10. - Applications. A wide variety of realistic and timely applications are featured, both in text examples and problem sets. Many are based on real data cited from journals and periodicals. Application problems are labeled by subject: management, social science, natural science, or physical science. An Index of Applications groups applications by these categories. - Case Studies. Chapter-ending case studies based on real data give students the opportunity to further apply all theyve learned in the chapter. - Technology Tips. For those who choose to use graphing technology, Technology Tips inform students of various features on their graphing calculators and give specific directions for accessing them. - Graphing Calculator Program Appendix now available for those who choose to use graphing calculators. Appendix includes two types of programs: those that do tasks discussed in the text, and those that update functions in older model calculators. - Margin Exercises allow students to get immediate feedback on their understanding of the material. - Writing and conceptual exercises promote critical thinking and deeper understanding of the mathematics. - Connection Exercises require students to call on material studied in earlier sections. - A flexible organization allows instructors to pick and choose the topics they would like to cover.

Biografía del autor:

Marge Lial was always interested in math; it was her favorite subject in the first grade! Marge's intense desire to educate both her students and herself has inspired the writing of numerous best-selling textbooks. Marge, who received Bachelor's and Master's degrees from California State University at Sacramento, is now affiliated with American River College. Marge is an avid reader and traveler. Her travel experiences often find their way into her books as applications, exercise sets, and feature sets. She is particularly interested in archeology. Trips to various digs and ruin sites have produced some fascinating problems for her textbooks involving such topics as the building of Mayan pyramids and the acoustics of ancient ball courts in the Yucatan. Thomas W. Hungerford received his bachelor?s degree from Holy Cross and his Ph.D. from the University of Chicago. He taught for seventeen years at the University of Washington (Seattle) before coming to Cleveland State University, where is he is professor of mathematics. He has written a number of research articles in algebra and several in mathematics education. Dr. Hungerford is the author or co-author of more than a dozen mathematics textbooks, ranging from high school to graduate level, several of which are published by Addison-Wesley. He is active in promoting the use of technology in mathematics instruction and was one of the founders of the Cleveland Collaborative for Mathematics Education (C2ME), an ongoing project involving local universities, businesses, and mathematics teachers. Dr. Hungerford is also a referee and reviewer for various mathematical journals and has frequently served on National Science Foundation panels for selecting grant recipients.
