Mathematics

• Applications: The author believes that students become more effective problem-solvers by being exposed to applications throughout the course. Therefore, a wide variety of unique, data-based, contemporary applications are included in nearly every section.
• Making Connections: This feature points out how concepts presented throughout the course are interrelated. It also provides students with a perspective on how previously learned material applies to the new material they have learned.
• Checking Basic Concepts: This feature consists of a small set of exercises provided after every two sections. These exercises can be used by students for review purposes, or by the instructor as group activities. They require 10-15 minutes to complete and could be used during class if time is available.
• End of Chapter Material: Each chapter ends with a summary of key concepts, review exercises, and extended and discovery exercises.
• Chapter R Reference: Basic Concepts from Algebra and Geometry: This contains much of the material from intermediate algebra and basic geometry in a separate appendix at the back of the text. This material is referenced by Algebra and Geometry Review Notes in the margins of the text.
• Graphing Calculator Appendix: This allows students to work more easily on their own with the calculator and frees up class time for the instructor. This material is referenced by Graphing Calculator Help Notes in the margins of the text.

• Chapter R now includes more on radicals and rational expressions.
• Over 90 additional Examples are included in the text, on topics that students find particularly challenging or confusing.
• Over 2,000 additional Exercises have been added to the text to allow students even more opportunity for practice and review. In addition, every exercise set has been revised to ensure that there are sufficient types of exercises for each mathematical concept and that there is a pairing of odd and even numbered exercises. They have been carefully graded from easy to difficult.
• The data in the applications has been updated for currency and improved relevancy.
• A new Now Try label appears at the end of every example, directing students to a similar exercise so they can practice what they have just learned.
• Cumulative Reviews, which appear every few chapters, require students to understand and use multiple skills from various chapters together. This is an excellent test of comprehension of key concepts in the course.
• New sections covering mathematical induction and solving linear systems in three variables without matrices have been added. Also, there is more coverage of partial fractions and rotation of axes.
• Chapter 2 has been reduced to five sections with the midpoint formula now presented in section 1.2 with the distance formula.
• Several topics have been expanded for greater clarity. These include graphing by hand, calculating the average rate of change, finding the difference quotient, maximizing and minimizing quadratic functions, evaluating function notation, solving equations reducible to quadratic form, graphing rational functions with holes, solving nonlinear equations and inequalities, completing the square, writing functions and formulas to solve applications, and transforming graphs to model data.

  Gary Rockswold teaches algebra in context, answering the question, “Why am I learning this?” By experiencing math through applications, students see how it fits into their lives, and they become motivated to succeed. Rockswold’s focus on conceptual understanding helps students make connections between the concepts and as a result, students see the bigger picture of math and are prepared for future courses.

Gary Rockswold- Dr. Gary Rockswold has been teaching mathematics for 25 years at all levels from seventh grade to graduate school, including junior high and high school students, talented youth, vocational, undergraduate, and graduate students, and adult education classes. He is currently employed at Minnesota State University, Mankato, where he is a full professor of mathematics and the chair of the mathematics department. He graduated with majors in mathematics and physics from St. Olaf College in Northfield, Minnesota, where he was elected to Phi Beta Kappa. He received his Ph.D. in applied mathematics from Iowa State University. He has an interdisciplinary background and has also taught physical science, astronomy, and computer science. Outside of mathematics, he enjoys spending time with his wife and two children.

  Today's algebra students want to know the why behind what they are learning and it is this that motivates them to succeed in the course. By focusing on algebra in a real-world context, Gary Rockswold gracefully and succinctly answers this need. As many topics taught in today's college algebra course aren't as crucial to students as they once were, Gary has developed this streamlined text, covering linear, quadratic, nonlinear, exponential, and logarithmic functions and systems of equations and inequalities, to get to the heart of what students need from this course. By answering the why and streamlining the how, Rockswold has created a text to serve today's students and help them to truly succeed.
