This edition features the exact same content as the traditional text in a convenient, three-hole- punched, loose-leaf version. The third book of the Mathematics in Action series, Algebraic, Graphical, and Trigonometric Problem Solving, Fourth Edition illustrates how mathematics arises naturally from everyday situations through updated and revised real-life activities and accompanying practice exercises. This unique approach helps students increase their knowledge of mathematics, sharpen their problem-solving skills, and raise their overall confidence in their ability to learn. Technology integrated throughout the text helps students interpret real-life data algebraically, numerically, symbolically, and graphically. The active style of this book develops students' mathematical literacy and builds a solid foundation for future study in mathematics and other disciplines. - Publisher.
