Description:

Taking an alternative approach to related math texts for liberal arts students, this classroom-tested book emphasizes mathematical representations, strategies, and solution methods that address both engaging puzzles and important societal problems. Students learn effective ways to decipher, manipulate, and decompose problems; reframe paradoxes; control complexity; and team with others to find creative, if only approximate, solutions. The book helps students discover that mathematical thinking in the age of algorithms, optimization, and probabilistic inference extends beyond traditional algebra and calculus.
