Beginning graduate students in mathematical sciences and related
areas in physical and computer sciences and engineering are
expected to be familiar with a daunting breadth of mathematics, but
few have such a background. This bestselling book helps students
fill in the gaps in their knowledge. Thomas A. Garrity explains the
basic points and a few key results of all the most important
undergraduate topics in mathematics, emphasizing the intuitions
behind the subject. The explanations are accompanied by numerous
examples, exercises and suggestions for further reading that allow
the reader to test and develop their understanding of these core
topics. Featuring four new chapters and many other improvements,
this second edition of All the Math You Missed is an essential
resource for advanced undergraduates and beginning graduate
students who need to learn some serious mathematics quickly.
As in previous editions, the focus in INTRODUCTORY ALGEBRA: AN
APPLIED APPROACH, 9E, International Edition remains on the Aufmann
Interactive Method (AIM). Students are encouraged to be active
participants in the classroom and in their own studies as they work
through the How To examples and the paired Examples and You Try It
problems. Student engagement is crucial to success. Presenting
students with worked examples, and then providing them with the
opportunity to immediately solve similar problems, helps them build
their confidence and eventually master the concepts. Simplicity is
key in the organization of this edition, as in all other editions.
All lessons, exercise sets, tests, and supplements are organized
around a carefully constructed hierarchy of objectives. Each
exercise mirrors a preceding objective, which helps to reinforce
key concepts and promote skill building. This clear,
objective-based approach allows students to organize their thoughts
around the content, and supports instructors as they work to design
syllabi, lesson plans, and other administrative documents. New
features like Focus on Success, Apply the Concept, and Concept
Check add an increased emphasis on study skills and conceptual
understanding to strengthen the foundation of student success. The
Ninth Edition also features a new design, enhancing the Aufmann
Interactive Method and making the pages easier for both students
and instructors to follow.
In this work Zoltan Paul Dienes enlivens the world of algebra and
examines some of the mysteries of mathematical constructions in a
new and exciting fashion. Step by step, equation by equation,
diagram by diagram, he strips away all the unintelligible jargon
and brings each task and problem to life. If algebra lessons were
viewed with dread at school, this is the book to make you
reconsider. The informal style, clear diagrams and comprehensive
explanations make understanding easy, while innovative games and
intriguing puzzles ensure that learning is no longer a chore but a
pleasure. Although predominantly aimed at those already equipped
with basic algebra skills, beginners and experts alike will find
much to interest and test them.
An instant New York Times Bestseller! "Unreasonably entertaining .
. . reveals how geometric thinking can allow for everything from
fairer American elections to better pandemic planning." -The New
York Times From the New York Times-bestselling author of How Not to
Be Wrong-himself a world-class geometer-a far-ranging exploration
of the power of geometry, which turns out to help us think better
about practically everything. How should a democracy choose its
representatives? How can you stop a pandemic from sweeping the
world? How do computers learn to play Go, and why is learning Go so
much easier for them than learning to read a sentence? Can ancient
Greek proportions predict the stock market? (Sorry, no.) What
should your kids learn in school if they really want to learn to
think? All these are questions about geometry. For real. If you're
like most people, geometry is a sterile and dimly remembered
exercise you gladly left behind in the dust of ninth grade, along
with your braces and active romantic interest in pop singers. If
you recall any of it, it's plodding through a series of miniscule
steps only to prove some fact about triangles that was obvious to
you in the first place. That's not geometry. Okay, it is geometry,
but only a tiny part, which has as much to do with geometry in all
its flush modern richness as conjugating a verb has to do with a
great novel. Shape reveals the geometry underneath some of the most
important scientific, political, and philosophical problems we
face. Geometry asks: Where are things? Which things are near each
other? How can you get from one thing to another thing? Those are
important questions. The word "geometry"comes from the Greek for
"measuring the world." If anything, that's an undersell. Geometry
doesn't just measure the world-it explains it. Shape shows us how.
This market-leading text continues to provide students and
instructors with sound, consistently structured explanations of the
mathematical concepts. Designed for a one-term course that prepares
students for further study in mathematics, the new ninth edition
retains the features that have always made COLLEGE ALGEBRA a
complete solution for both students and instructors: interesting
applications, pedagogically effective design, and innovative
technology combined with an abundance of carefully developed
examples and exercises.
Understanding maths has never been easier. Combining bold, elegant
