This introductory algebra text, based on standards in the AMATYC Crossroads document, motivates college math students to develop mathematical literacy and a solid foundation for future study in mathematics and other disciplines. This second book of a three-book series presents mathematical concepts and skills through relevant activities derived from real-life situations; these activities are meaningful to students because they illustrate how mathematics arises naturally from real-world situations and problems. The Mathematics in Action series is based on the assumption that students learn mathematics best by doing mathematics in a meaningful context. Students take an active role in their own learning by working in groups, thereby developing communication skills, a sense of independence, and a "can-do" attitude about mathematics. Technology is integrated throughout the book so that students learn to interpret real-life data numerically, symbolically, and graphically. Regardless of their level of preparation for the course, students can use this text to increase their knowledge of mathematics, their problem-solving skills, and their overall confidence in their ability to learn.

Mathematics In Action,
This review is from: Mathematics In Action: An Introduction to Algebraic, Graphical, and Numerical Problem Solving (2nd Edition) (Paperback)
The book was not exactally what I wanted Amazon mixed the information and I got a earlier version of the text book I wanted. What I got was OK, My instruckter said I could still use it. But be careful what you order because Amazon will mix it up.
