Ten years from now, what do you want or expect your students to
remember from your course? We realized that in ten years what
matters will be how students approach a problem using the tools
they carry with them- common sense and common knowledge- not the
particular mathematics we chose for the curriculum. Using our text,
students work regularly with real data in moderately complex
everyday contexts, using mathematics as a tool and common sense as
a guide. The focus is on problems suggested by the news of the day
and topics that matter to students, like inflation, credit card
debt, and loans. We use search engines, calculators, and
spreadsheet programs as tools to reduce drudgery, explore patterns,
and get information. Technology is an integral part of today's
world- this text helps students use it thoughtfully and wisely.
This second edition contains revised chapters and additional
sections, updated examples and exercises, and complete rewrites of
critical material based on feedback from students and teachers who
have used this text. Our focus remains the same: to help students
to think carefully- and critically- about numerical information in
everyday contexts.
