Title overview

For courses in College Algebra.

Develop concepts in context

College Algebra with Modeling and Visualization shows students why math matters. It presents the concept of a function as a unifying theme, with an emphasis on the rule of 4 (verbal, graphical, numerical, and symbolic representations). Students learn the concepts in the context of the world they know, leading to better understanding and retention. From there, the author shows a connection between application, modeling, and visualization.

The 6th Edition emphasizes conceptual understanding with new in-chapter features and assignment options, while at the same time providing tools to empower instructors to make their classroom more active through collaboration and group work.
