Author Description

College Algebra through Modeling and Visualization offers an innovative approach that consistently links mathematical concepts to real-world applications by moving from the concrete to the abstract. With a flexible approach to the rule of four (verbal, graphical, numerical, and symbolic methods), instructors can easily emphasize any aspects of the rule to meet their students' needs. There is an appropriate, flexible use of technology throughout the text, which helps students visualize mathematical concepts. However, technology use is not a requirement for students to benefit from this applications-based text.
