Publisher's Synopsis
For computer-based courses in Quantitative Literacy or Liberal Arts Mathematics.
Designed to teach students to use mathematics and technologies in formulating and solving real-world problems. This lab-based text focuses on developing quantitative reasoning skills and requires students to work collaboratively in small groups. Combining technology with cooperative learning strategies creates a rich experiential learning environment where instructors become facilitators rather than lecturers, and students learn skills that can improve their performance in subsequent courses and later in life.
