Caracteristici

  • Thousands of exercises of many types are available throughout the text.
    • Lial’s extensive end-of-section exercises offer students many ways to practice and master the material they have just learned. NEW: Students can watch an instructor work through the complete solutions for exercises correlated to examples in the text on the Video Lectures on CD or DVD with Solution Clips.  All exercises with a full solution available are marked with a CD icon in the end-of-section exercise sets.
    • Relating Concepts exercises tie together topics and highlight the relationships among various concepts and skills.
    • Group Activities at the end of each chapter allow students to work collaboratively to solve a problem related to the chapter material. 
    • Summary Exercises are included where needed to provide students with the all-important mixed review problems they need to master difficult topics. Summaries of solution methods or additional examples are often included.
    • Technology Insights exercises illustrate the power of graphing calculators and provide an opportunity for students to interpret typical results seen on graphing calculator screens (Note: a graphing calculator is NOT required to complete these exercises).

  • The chapter summary material provides students with ample opportunity for review. At the end of each chapter, students will find the following resources:
    • Key Terms and Symbols are keyed back to the appropriate section for easy reference and study.
    • Test Your Word Power helps students understand and master mathematical vocabulary. Key terms from the chapter are presented with four possible definitions in a multiple-choice format.
    • Quick Review sectionsgive students not only the main concepts from the chapter (referenced back to the appropriate section), but also an example of each concept.
    • Review Exercises are keyed to the appropriate sections so that students can refer to examples of that type of problem if they need help.
    • Mixed Review Exercises require students to solve problems without the help of section references.
    • Chapter Tests help students practice for the real thing. 
    • Cumulative Review Exercises gather various types of exercises from preceding chapters to help students retain what they are learning throughout the course.
    • NEW: The Pass the Test CD in the back of the text offers interactive versions of the “Key Terms” and “Test Your Word Power” from each chapter.  Students can also watch summary lectures for each concept from the “Quick Review” and video footage of an instructor working through the complete solution for every exercise from the chapter tests.

  • Lial’s student-friendly examples have been further enhanced in this revision with new pointers from the authors that warn students about common pitfalls.  Each example will still conclude by asking students to “Now Try” one or more parallel exercises from the corresponding exercise set so that students can immediately reinforce the concepts and skills presented in the examples. NEW: Students can now watch an instructor working through the solution to one “Now Try” exercise for every example in the text on the new Video Lectures on CD or DVD with Solution Clips.

  • The Lial six-step problem-solving method is clearly explained in Chapter 2 and is then continually reinforced in examples and exercises throughout the text to aid students in solving application problems.

  • Helpful text features keep students motivated and interested in the reading:
    • A comprehensive glossary of key terms from throughout the text is included at the back of the book.
    • Real-world applications found throughout the text have been updated to keep students motivated.
    • Learning objectives are reinforced throughout each section as the objective is relisted where appropriate so that students always know exactly what is being covered.
    • Note boxes appear throughout the text to emphasize important ideas to the reader.
    • Caution boxes warn students about common errors.
    • Connections boxes provide thought-provoking questions for writing or class discussion through connections to other mathematical concepts, real-world examples, or historical background.
    • Problem Solving Hints boxes provide students with problem-solving tips and strategies.
  • Classroom Examples andTeaching Tips are located in the margins of the Annotated Instructor’s Edition. They give instructors examples to use in class that differ from those in the student text and offer guidance on presenting the material at hand.

  • TheAnnotated Instructor's Edition provides instructors with answers to all exercises, now in an easy-to-read single-column format whenever possible.
