New and updated features of this title
- New co-author Chris Heil and co-author Joel Hass aim to develop students’ mathematical maturity and proficiency by going beyond memorization of formulas and routine procedures and showing how to generalize key concepts once they are introduced.
- PowerPoint® lecture slides now include examples as well as key theorems, definitions, and figures. The files are fully editable making them a robust and flexible teaching tool.
- Strong exercise sets feature a great breadth of problems, progressing from skills problems to applied and theoretical problems, to encourage students to think about and practice the concepts until they achieve mastery. In the 4th Edition, the authors added new exercises and exercise types throughout, many of which are geometric in nature.
- Figures are conceived and rendered to provide insight for students and support conceptual reasoning. In the 4th Edition, new figures are added to enhance understanding and graphics are revised throughout to emphasize clear visualization.
- Annotations within examples (shown in blue type) guide students through the problem solution and emphasize that each step in a mathematical argument is rigorously justified. For the 4th Edition, many more annotations were added.
