Notă biografică

Marge Lial was always interested in math; it was her favorite subject in the first grade! Marge's intense desire to educate both her students and herself has inspired the writing of numerous best-selling textbooks. Marge, who received Bachelor's and Master's degrees from California State University at Sacramento, is now affiliated with American River College. Marge is an avid reader and traveler. Her travel experiences often find their way into her books as applications, exercise sets, and feature sets. She is particularly interested in archeology. Trips to various digs and ruin sites have produced some fascinating problems for her textbooks involving such topics as the building of Mayan pyramids and the acoustics of ancient ball courts in the Yucatan.
When John Hornsby enrolled as an undergraduate at Louisiana State University, he was uncertain whether he wanted to study mathematics education or journalism. His ultimate decision was to become a teacher, but after twenty-five years of teaching at the high school and university levels and ten years of writing mathematics textbooks, both of his goals have been realized. His love for teaching and for mathematics is evident in his passion for working with students and fellow teachers as well. His specific professional interests are recreational mathematics, mathematics history, and incorporating graphing calculators into the curriculum.
John's personal life is busy as he devotes time to his family (wife Gwen, and sons Chris, Jack, and Josh). He has been a rabid baseball fan all of his life. John's other hobbies include numismatics (the study of coins) and record collecting. He loves the music of the 1960s and has an extensive collection of the recorded works of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons.
David Schneider has taught mathematics at universities for over 34 years and has authored 36 books. He has an undergraduate degree in mathematics from Oberlin College and a PhD in mathematics from MIT. During most of his professional career, he was on the faculty of the University of Maryland at College Park. His hobbies include travel, dancing, bicycling, and hiking.

Caracteristici

  • Chapter Openers  These provide a motivating application topic that is tied to the chapter content, plus a list of sections and any quizzes or summary exercises in the chapter.
  • Examples  The step-by-step solutions now incorporate additional side comments and more section references to previously covered material. New pointers in the examples provide students with on-the-spot reminders and warnings about common pitfalls.
  • Now Try Exercises  To actively engage students in the learning process, each example concludes with a reference to one or more parallel, odd-numbered exercises from the corresponding exercise set. In this way, students are able to immediately apply and reinforce the concepts and skills presented in the examples.
  • Real-Life Applications  We have incorporated many new applied examples and exercises from fields such as business, pop culture, sports, life sciences, and environmental studies that show the relevance of algebra to daily life.
  • Function Boxes  Beginning in Chapter 2, functions are a unifying theme throughout the remainder of the text. To that end, special function boxes offer a comprehensive, visual introduction to each class of function and also serve as an excellent resource for student reference and review throughout the course. Each function box includes a table of values alongside traditional and calculator graphs, as well as the domain, range, and other specific information about the function.
  • Use of Technology  As in the previous edition, we have integrated the use of graphing calculators where appropriate, although graphing technology is not a central feature of this text. We continue to stress that graphing calculators are an aid to understanding and that students must master the underlying mathematical concepts first. We have included graphing calculator solutions for selected examples and continue to mark all graphing calculator notes and exercises that use graphing calculators with an icon for easy identification and added flexibility. This graphing calculator material is optional and can be omitted without loss of continuity.
  • Cautions and Notes  We often give students warnings of common errors and emphasize important ideas in Caution and Note comments that appear throughout the exposition.
  • Looking Ahead to Calculus  These margin notes offer glimpses of how the algebraic topics currently being studied are used in calculus.
  • ConnectionsThis boxed feature provides connections to the real world or to other mathematical concepts, historical backgrounds, and thought-provoking questions for writing, class discussion, or group work.
  • Exercise Sets  We have given the exercise sets special attention in this revision. Approximately 25% of the exercises are new. As a result, the text includes more problems than ever to provide students with ample opportunities to practice, apply, connect, and extend concepts and skills. We have included writing exercises and optional graphing calculator problems as well as multiple-choice, matching, true/false, and completion problems. Exercises marked Concept Check focus on mathematical thinking and conceptual understanding. By request, new Connecting Graphs with Equations problems provide students with opportunities to write equations for given graphs.
  • Relating Concepts Exercises  Appearing in selected exercise sets, these sets of problems help students tie together topics and develop problem-solving skills as they compare and contrast ideas, identify and describe patterns, and extend concepts to new situations. These exercises make great collaborative activities for pairs or small groups of students.
  • Solutions to Selected Exercises  Exercise numbers enclosed in a blue circle indicate that a complete solution for the problem is included at the back of the text. These solutions are given for selected exercises that extend the skills and concepts presented in the section examples. There are 3 to 5 per section.
  • Quizzes To allow students to periodically check their understanding of the material covered, at least one quiz now appears in each chapter, where appropriate.
  • Summary Exercises  These sets of in-chapter exercises provide students with the all-important mixed review problems they need to synthesize concepts and select appropriate solution methods.
  • Chapter Reviews Each chapter ends with a more extensive Summary, featuring a section-by-section list of Key Terms, New Symbols, and a Quick Review of important Concepts, presented alongside corresponding Examples. A comprehensive set of Review Exercises and a Chapter Test are also provided.
  • Quantitative Reasoning  These end-of-chapter problems enable students to apply algebraic concepts to real-life situations, such as financial planning for retirement or determining the value of a college education.
  • Glossary  As an additional student study aid, a comprehensive glossary of key terms from throughout the text is provided at the back of the book.

Content Changes 
You will find many places in the text where we have polished individual presentations and added examples, exercises, and applications based on reviewer feedback.  Some of the changes you may notice include the following:
  • There are close to 1900 new and updated exercises, many of which are devoted to skill development, as well as new Concept Check, Connecting Graphs with Equations, and Quiz problems.
  • Real-world data in approximately 240 applications have been updated.
  •  Sets are now covered in Section R.1.  Former Sections R.1 and R.2 on real numbers and their properties have been streamlined and combined into new Section R.2.
  • Work rate problems have been moved from Section 1.2 to Section 1.6.
  • Former Section 2.1 has been expanded and divided into two sections, so that now, new Section 2.2 covers equations of circles and their graphs.
  • A new set of Summary Exercises on Functions:  Domains and Defining Equations is included at the end of Chapter 4.
  • Cofunctions are now introduced in Section 5.3.
  • Former Section 6.3 has been expanded and divided into two sections.  Section 6.3 covers graphs of the sine and cosine functions, while Section 6.4 presents translations of these graphs. 
  • In addition, the following topics have been expanded:
        Using slope-intercept form of the equation of a line (Section 2.5)
        Discussion of composition of functions (Section 2.8)
        Graphing rational functions (Section 3.5)
        Solving exponential and logarithmic functions (Section 4.5)
        Coverage of complementary, supplementary, and quadrantal angles (Section 5.1)
