More About This Title Explorations in College Algebra Draft Edition
English
The product of an NSF funded consortium, this innovative text changes college algebra from a teacher-centered lecture format to a student-centered learning experience. Students use real data from the physical, social and life sciences to motivate discussions, then develop algebraic theory out of practical necessity. Students solve open-ended problems, most requiring technology, and small group work is encouraged. Includes an anthology of readings that helps students link mathematics to everyday life.
