Each chapter begins with an application taken from a movie or television program, showing usage of excellent, dangerous, and ugly arithmetic-because college students can study from all three types.
The written examples illustrate the concepts and skills launched, giving student step-by-step directions for solving related problems. Annotations clarify these examples and prepare students for the workouts that follow. Different train units include drill, conceptual, and applied problems. Many workouts have been up to date with new applications and real-life data.
Margin notes are interspersed all through the text and deal with numerous topics akin to lives of mathematicians, historical vignettes, anecdotes, newspaper and journal articles, and present analysis in mathematics. Many notes reinforce the film and television theme. Downside-Fixing Hints are built-in all through each chapter, reminding college students of the issue-solving methods discussed in Chapter 1.
For Further Thought features encourage students to assume and ask questions on an idea on a deeper level. Extensions are mini-sections delving deeper into an interesting matter and even embody their very own train sets. Collaborative Investigations at the end of each chapter handle the problem of cooperative learning. These workouts may be completed in small groups or with the entire class, and are designed to promote communication about arithmetic topics.
