About the Book

Designed to prepare students for college algebra and some “service” math courses. Written to develop students' critical thinking and problem solving capabilities and make the math they learn in this course relevant to decision-making in real life. Topics are presented in an interesting and inviting format incorporating real world sourced data and modeling. Unique, enthusiastic approach, this text requires students to take an active role in studying mathematics. Focusing more on the mathematical process, students have abundant opportunities to make intuitive leaps to discover patterns — helping them develop critical thinking skills as well as mathematical confidence. Placing an emphasis on the usefulness of algebra throughout, students discover mathematical concepts while en route to solving true-to-life problems.
