Mathematics: Its Power and Utility
Description
MATHEMATICS: ITS POWER AND UTILITY, Tenth Edition, combines a unique and
practical focus on real-world problem solving allowing even the least-
interested or worst-prepared student to appreciate the beauty and value of
math while mastering basic concepts and skills they will apply to their daily
lives. The first half of the book explores the POWER and historic impact of
mathematics and helps students harness that POWER by developing an effective
approach to problem solving. The second half builds upon this foundation by
exploring the UTLITY and application of math concepts to a wide variety of
real-life situations: money management; handling of credit cards; inflation;
purchase of a car or home; the effective use of probability, statistics, and
surveys; and many other topics of life interest. Unlike many mathematics
texts, MATHEMATICS: ITS POWER AND UTILITY, Tenth Edition, assumes a basic
working knowledge of arithmetic, making it effective even for students with no
exposure to algebra. Completely self-contained chapters make it easy to teach
to a customized syllabus or support the precise pace and emphasis that
students require. Read more
