เนื้อหาย่อ : What are the advantages of adopting a book that has been used in classrooms across the United States for 17 years? Probably the most significant advantage is that the authors through experimentation have tried to find the optimum proce- es for presenting solid (and sometimes complicated) mathematica at a level that can be understood by students who are not mathematical experts. ngs do make a difference, and here are a few of the many proce that make the teaching/learning process in this book easier for both the teacher and the student: ew material is presented just prior to the place it is needed in the b Material needed for linear algebra (systems of linear equations, matrices, linear programming, and probability applications) is presented in an easy- to-cover first chapter. b. The concepts needed for the study of calculus, especially functions, are placed in Chapter 8 immediately preceding calculus. ial is introduced as a natural response to need instead of "theory then application" approach. Matrix theory is introduced in the process of solving a system of linear uations rather than introduced as an abstract theary with the so system of equations as a later application. Counting techniques, such as tree diagrams, permutations, and ns, are introduced in response to solving probability problen 1 presented as an abstract idea and later used in prob applications. "obability distributions are presented as an outgrowth o statistics. Difficult material is presented in small bits. mplicated procedures are presented as goals (or what is to b ished), the steps to accomplish these goods, and the end
