Hallmark Features:

  • Content can be adapted to fit several courses!
    • An important feature of the Washington approach to technical math is the flexibility of the table of contents. The chapters are easily adapted to the specific needs of students as instructors. Certain sections or chapters can be omitted without loss of continuity, and chapters can be reorganized for a customized syllabus. Notes and suggestions on how to reorganize the material are contained in the Answer Book.
  • Content is well designed and features excellent teaching tools.
    • The spacious layout allows for additional graphing calculator screen graphics in the margin, which help students visualize the graphing technology. Each chapter ends with chapter equations, review exercises, and practice tests. Special Caution and Note indicators identify and aid students on difficult topics throughout the text. Important formulas are displayed such that they can be quickly and easily referenced for use by students.
  • Graphing calculator coverage is integrated and emphasized throughout the text, including more than 160 graphing calculator screens pictured in the text.
  • Hundreds of exercises, examples, figures, writing exercises, and word problems and solutions!
    • Nearly 9,000 practice exercises, 1,000 examples, and 1,000 figures to help students actively build a stronger understanding of key topics. Approximately 120 examples present complete solutions to word problems. These examples are clearly indicated in the margin by the phrase “solving a word problem.” In addition, the text includes over 900 word problems within the exercise sets. An icon highlights the writing exercises in the text. These exercises reinforce student understanding because they require students to verbalize their answers.
  • Resources that help instructors and students succeed!
    • Instructor resources include an answer book, an instructor's solutions manual, a printed test bank, a MathXL instructor access kit, and a MathXL online course. Student resources include a graphing calculator manual, a student's solution manual, and a MyMathLab online course.

 

This edition has been updated to include:
