Reseña del editor

FUNCTIONS AND CHANGE: A MODELING APPROACH TO COLLEGE ALGEBRA, 4E provides an alternative to a traditional college algebra course for users who either will not take another math course or may go on to a business calculus course. The authors wrote this text for the many college algebra users who are poorly served by books that focus on preparing them for a course they will never take, traditional calculus.
