Descriere
Gary Rockswold focuses on teaching algebra in context, answering the question, “Why am I learning this?” and ultimately motivating the students to succeed in this class. In addition, the author's understanding of what instructors need from a text (great 'real' examples and lots of exercises) makes this book fun and easy to teach from. Integrating this textbook into your course will be a worthwhile endeavor.

Notă biografică
Gary Rockswold- Dr. Gary Rockswold has been teaching mathematics for 25 years at all levels from seventh grade to graduate school, including junior high and high school students, talented youth, vocational, undergraduate, and graduate students, and adult education classes. He is currently employed at Minnesota State University, Mankato, where he is a full professor of mathematics and the chair of the mathematics department. He graduated with majors in mathematics and physics from St. Olaf College in Northfield, Minnesota, where he was elected to Phi Beta Kappa. He received his Ph.D. in applied mathematics from Iowa State University. He has an interdisciplinary background and has also taught physical science, astronomy, and computer science. Outside of mathematics, he enjoys spending time with his wife and two children.
Caracteristici
- Applications: The author believes that students become more effective problem-solvers by being exposed to applications throughout the course. Therefore, a wide variety of unique, data-based, contemporary applications are included in nearly every section.
- Making Connections: This feature points out how concepts presented throughout the course are interrelated. It also provides students with a perspective on how previously learned material applies to the new material they have learned.
- Checking Basic Concepts: This feature consists of a small set of exercises provided after every two sections. These exercises can be used by students for review purposes, or by the instructor as group activities. They require 10-15 minutes to complete and could be used during class if time is available.
- End of Chapter Material: Each chapter ends with a summary of key concepts, review exercises, and extended and discovery exercises.
- Chapter R Reference: Basic Concepts from Algebra and Geometry: This contains much of the material from intermediate algebra and basic geometry in a separate appendix at the back of the text. This material is referenced by Algebra and Geometry Review Notes in the margins of the text.
- Graphing Calculator Appendix: This allows students to work more easily on their own with the calculator and frees up class time for the instructor. This material is referenced by Graphing Calculator Help Notes in the margins of the text.
Caracteristici noi
- Chapter R now includes more on radicals and rational expressions.
- Over 90 additional Examples are included in the text, on topics that students find particularly challenging or confusing.
- Over 2,000 additional Exercises have been added to the text to allow students even more opportunity for practice and review. In addition, every exercise set has been revised to ensure that there are sufficient types of exercises for each mathematical concept and that there is a pairing of odd and even numbered exercises. They have been carefully graded from easy to difficult.
- The data in the applications has been updated for currency and improved relevancy.
- A new Now Try label appears at the end of every example, directing students to a similar exercise so they can practice what they have just learned.
- Cumulative Reviews, which appear every few chapters, require students to understand and use multiple skills from various chapters together. This is an excellent test of comprehension of key concepts in the course.
- New sections covering mathematical induction and solving linear systems in three variables without matrices have been added. Also, there is more coverage of partial fractions and rotation of axes.
- Chapter 2 has been reduced to five sections with the midpoint formula now presented in section 1.2 with the distance formula.
- Several topics have been expanded for greater clarity. These include graphing by hand, calculating the average rate of change, finding the difference quotient, maximizing and minimizing quadratic functions, evaluating function notation, solving equations reducible to quadratic form, graphing rational functions with holes, solving nonlinear equations and inequalities, completing the square, writing functions and formulas to solve applications, and transforming graphs to model data.
