Through down-to-earth explanations, patient skill-building and exceptionally interesting and realistic applications, this worktext will empower students to learn and master mathematics in the real world. Bello has written a textbook with mathanxious students in mind to combat the issue of student motivation, something that instructors face with each class. The addition of Green Math examples and applications expands Bello`s reach into current, timely subjects.
Key Features:
This edition features new Green Math Examples and Green Math Applications, which provide students with the ability to apply mathematics to topics present in all aspects of their lives.
The result is a reinvented learning experience rich in information, visually engaging and easily accessible to both instructors and students.
End-of-section exercise sets to include exercises keyed to objectives and to examples, applied exercises and "skill checkers" to confirm or reinforce skills needed for the next section.
