The book's concept-based approach, multiple presentation methods, and interesting and relevant applications keep students who typically take the courseubusiness, economics, life sciences, and social sciences majorsuengaged in the material. This edition broadens the book's real-life context by adding a number of environmental science and economic applications. The use of modeling has been expanded, with modeling problems now clearly labeled in the examples. Also included in the Ninth Edition is a brief review of algebra to prepare students with different backgrounds for the material in later chapters.目录0. ALGEBRAIC CONCEPTS. Sets. The Real Numbers.
