Description:

Students who take college algebra as a terminal course will find that this book shows them some ways in which algebra can be used to 'view the world around us.' It brings out an appreciation for mathematical ideas generated from that view by not only showing how algebra can provide insight into these problems through the process of mathematical modeling. They will also see that algebra is of interest in its own right, not just as a course needed for the study of trigonometry or calculus.
