- • Margin Problems allow students to immediately practice the example material and check their answer at the bottom of the page in preparation for the exercise sets.
- • Real-Life Applications with interesting data are used in many new or updated examples and exercises throughout the text. Students are often asked to find data in a table, chart, graph, or advertisement. These applied problems provide an up-to-date flavor that will appeal to and motivate students.
- • Learning Objectives begin each section, and all material is keyed to these objectives to let students and instructors know exactly what will be covered.
- • Pointers within examples, Cautions (highlighted in yellow) and Notes (highlighted in blue) provide students with important, on-the-spot reminders and warnings about common pitfalls.
- Marge Lial (late) was always interested in math; it was her favorite subject in the first grade! Her desire to educate both her students and herself inspired the writing of numerous best-selling textbooks. Marge, who received Bachelor's and Master's degrees from California State University at Sacramento, was most recently affiliated with American River College. An avid reader and traveler, Marge’s travel experiences often find their way into her books as applications, exercise sets, and feature sets. She was particularly interested in archeology. Trips to various digs and ruin sites produced some fascinating problems for her textbooks, involving such topics as the building of Mayan pyramids and the acoustics of ancient ball courts in the Yucatan.
