Gary Rockswold and Terry Krieger focus on teaching algebra in context, giving students realistic and convincing answers to the perennial question, "When will I ever use this?" The authors' consistent use of real data, graphs, and tables throughout the examples and exercise sets gives meaning to the numbers and equations as students encounter them. This new edition further enhances Rockswold and Krieger's focus on math in the real world with new features and updated applications to engage today's students. |
