Mathematics in Action: An Introduction to Algebraic, Graphical, and Numerical Problem Solving

This introductory algebra text, based on standards in the AMATYC Crossroads document, aims to motivate college mathematics students to develop mathematical literacy and a solid foundation for future study in mathematics and other disciplines. This first book of a two-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.
