Synopsis

Designed for first year undergraduates, this text uses technology to promote conceptual understanding as well as exploration and modelling of real-world problems. The focus is on the function concept to prepare students for the study of calculus, while its emphasis on mathematical modelling helps students see how maths can be used outside the classroom or laboratory. The exercises included in the text are imbedded in the flow of the sections to assess student understanding and to guide them in discovering concepts. The history and etymology of mathematical ideas and terms are similarly integrated throughout the text - intended to help students experience mathematics as an ongoing creative endeavour. Additionally, there is an emphasis on real data, ranging from AIDS deaths to blood alcohol levels. This is designed to show students how mathematics is relevant to their lives.
