Riassunto:

This introduction to mathematical modeling uses elementary functions to describe and explore real-world data and phenomena.  Helps readers connect math with the world around them through real-world applications of elementary mathematics. Shows how to construct useful mathematical models, how to analyze them critically, and how to communicate quantitative concepts effectively. Uses concrete language and examples throughout to foster quantitative literacy.  For anyone interested in gaining a solid foundation in mathematical concepts.

Product Description: For introductory college math course at the college algebra level for non-calculus bound students. Designed for students who are not headed for calculus-based curricula - but who still need a solid quantitative foundation for subsequent studies and for life as educated citizens - this introduction to mathematical modeling offers an alternative approach to college algebra. The authors use elementary functions to describe and explore real-world data and phenomena. Students learn how to construct useful mathematical models, to analyze them critically, and to communicate quantitative concepts effectively. The Second Edition is even more student-friendly, with more concrete language and examples throughout.
