In light of that fact, I found the the narrative to be at a very appropriate and engaging level for these students. The text is very readable. The overall framework of the text is consistent. There is a front-to-back cohesiveness to the text in terms of its format and terminology. That said, there are some inconsistencies with the notation and typesetting. One bit of notation that was nonstandard and inconsistent was that of the complement of a set.
This notation was mixed in Example Regarding the typesetting, there are numerous locations in with mathematical expressions are partly in "math mode" or not at all. Any of this can be clarified in class and since this is an open-source textbook, anyone is welcome to revise to their liking.
The textbook is certainly modular. The text is broken up into logical chapters and sections within each chapter, thus allowing for the text to be remixed with other resources. Homework sets are even separate chapters. The textbook is organized in a logical way, though, as noted, a review of exponential functions before the chapter on the mathematics of finance might be helpful for a number of students. Linear programming appropriately follows matrices, which appropriately follows linear equations, etc.
The textbook would be significantly improved with better and sharper images, graphs, tables, and figures. The author notes, however, that the course uses a TI graphing calculator at his university. The graphs in the text show what would be seen on a TI, so it makes sense in that context.
However, an update using open-source software like SageMath, GeoGebra, or Matplotlib to create the graphics would appeal to a broader audience. There are occasional inconsistencies with the mathematical typesetting, as noted earlier. The PDF version of the text isn't flashy and polished, but the webpage version on the OpenStax website has a more polished look and feel and is easily navigable.
Set up your spreadsheet as shown. Among other things, it sells wiper blades, windshield cleaning fluid, and floor mats. The monthly sales of these items at the two stores for two months are given in the following tables: Note that we have stored the difference in the matrix [D] in case we need it for later use.
Solution with Technology 1. In Excel, enter the values of X in one column and the probabilities in another. Students, raised in an environment in which computers suffuse both work and play, can use their Web browsers to engage with the material in an active way.
Because the questions are randomized and scores are automatically calculated, these tutorials can be used for in-class quizzes, as the authors themselves have done. These are a terrific pre-test study tool for students. These interactive tutorials expand on the examples given in the text. The utilities available include a function grapher and evaluator that also does derivatives, regression tools, and a numerical integration tool.
These utilities require nothing more than a standard Web browser. All of the chapter summaries and many of the tutorials, game tutorials, and utilities are already available in Spanish, with many more resources to come.
NetTutor utilizes a WorldWideWhiteboard application, a Web-based application that allows students and tutors to interact with one another through text and images, and also offers audio and video over Internet Protocol or VOIP, where voice is transmitted through the Internet. The WorldWide Whiteboard software offers the ability to easily create custom groups, which contain course-specific functions, symbol palettes and buttons. Test Bank The test bank—available on the PowerLecture CD—contains numerous multiple choice and free response questions for those instructors who prefer a more traditional method of test preparation.
Enhanced WebAssign Instant feedback and ease of use are just two reasons why WebAssign is the most widely used homework system in higher education.
WebAssign allows you to assign, collect, grade, and record homework assignments via the Web. Now this proven homework system has been enhanced to include links to textbook sections, video examples, and problem-specific tutorials. Enhanced WebAssign is more than a homework system—it is a complete learning system for math students. Preface xvii Acknowledgments This project would not have been possible without the contributions and suggestions of numerous colleagues, students, and friends.
We are particularly grateful to our colleagues at Hofstra and elsewhere who used and gave us useful feedback on previous editions. We are also grateful to everyone at Cengage Learning for their encouragement and guidance throughout the project. Specifically, we would like to thank Carolyn Crockett and Liz Covello for their unflagging enthusiasm and Jeannine Lawless for whipping the book into shape.
