Publisher's Synopsis
Now with all digital content in Macmillan Learning's Achieve, For All Practical Purposes emphasizes the connections between contemporary mathematics and modern society. Long a foundational text in the development of the liberal arts mathematics course, its distinctive style introduces students to real math applications without simply listing equations and asking students to crunch numbers-practice is geared toward understanding what these equations do and what they can reveal. For All Practical Purposes seeks to engage those students who tend to be wary or disinterested in math courses and to show them both the usefulness of these math concepts and the beauty of math as applied in the world around us.
The new edition of For All Practical Purposes is available with Macmillan's groundbreaking online platform Achieve. Achieve features tools and assessment meant to engage students before, during, and after class, while providing flexibility and rich analytics for instructors. Along with the fully accessible, interactive e-book, Achieve also contains videos and interactive activities, adaptive quizzing, active learning tools, and tutorial-style assessment from the text with hints, error-specific feedback, and fully worked solutions.
