Overview
The goal of this book is to provide a solid mathematical foundation via visualization of real world data. This book uses technology as a tool to solve problems, motivate concepts, explore and preview mathematical concepts and to find curves of best fit to the data. Most mathematical concepts are developed and illustrated both algebraically and graphically, with the more intuitive and appropriate method presented first. The authors use their extensive teaching and writing experiences to guide and support readers through the typical difficult areas.

This textbook differs from the 1996 text in that it addresses the point of view that technology should not only be used to graph functions and solve equations, but also should be used to analyze raw data, draw scatter diagrams, and find curves of best fit. Use of the book requires that students have access to a graphing calculator or a software package that has a graphing component. Coverage includes all of the standard algebra and trigonometry topics from functions and vectors to sequences and probability. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.Book Details
