Opis: Basic College Mathematics - Molly O'Neill, Julie Miller, Nancy Hyde

Get Better Results with high quality content, exercise sets, and step-by-step pedagogy! The Miller/O'Neill/Hyde author team continues to offer an enlightened approach grounded in the fundamentals of classroom experience in Basic College Mathematics. The text reflects the compassion and insight of its experienced author team with features developed to address the specific needs of developmental level students. Throughout the text, the authors communicate to students the very points their instructors are likely to make during lecture, and this helps to reinforce the concepts and provide instruction that leads students to mastery and success. Also included are Problem Recognition Exercises, designed to help students recognize which solution strategies are most appropriate for a given exercise. These types of exercises, along with the number of practice problems and group activities available, permit instructors to choose from a wealth of problems, allowing ample opportunity for students to practice what they learn in lecture to hone their skills. In this way, the book perfectly complements any learning platform, whether traditional lecture or distance-learning; its instruction is so reflective of what comes from lecture, that students will feel as comfortable outside of class as they do inside class with their instructor.Basic College Mathematics, 3rd Edition 1Whole Numbers 1.1Introduction to Whole Numbers 1.2Addition of Whole Numbers and Perimeter 1.3Subtraction of Whole Numbers 1.4Rounding and Estimating 1.5Multiplication of Whole Numbers and Area 1.6Division of Whole Numbers PRE: Operations on Whole Numbers 1.7Exponents, Square Roots, and the Order of Operations 1.8Problem Solving Strategies Group Activity: Becoming a Successful Student 2Fractions and Mixed Numbers: Multiplication and Division 2.1Introduction to Fractions and Mixed Numbers 2.2Prime Numbers and Factorisations 2.3Simplifying Fractions to Lowest Terms 2.4Multiplication of Fractions and Applications 2.5Division of Fractions and Applications PRE: Multiplication and Division of Fractions 2.6Multiplication and Division of Mixed Numbers Group Activity: Cooking for Company 3Fractions and Mixed Numbers: Addition and Subtraction 3.1Addition and Subtraction of Like Fractions 3.2Least Common Multiple 3.3Addition and Subtraction of Unlike Fractions 3.4Addition and Subtractions of Mixed Numbers PRE: Operations on Fractions and Mixed Numbers 3.5Order of Operations and Applications of Fractions and Mixed Numbers Group Activity: Card Games with Fractions 4Decimals 4.1Decimal Notation and Rounding 4.2Addition and Subtraction of Decimals 4.3Multiplication of Decimals 4.4Division of Decimals PRE: Operations on Decimals 4.5Fractions as Decimals 4.6Order of Operations and Applications of DecimalsGroup Activity: Purchasing from a Catalog 5Ratio and Proportion 5.1Ratios 5.2Rates and Unit Cost 5.3Proportions PRE: Operations on Fractions versus Solving Proportions 5.4Applications of Proportions and Similar Figures Group Activity: Investigating Probability 6Percents 6.1Percents and Their Fraction and Decimal Forms 6.2Fractions and Decimals and Their Percent Forms 6.3Percent Proportions and Applications 6.4Percent Equations and Applications PRE: Percents 6.5Applications Involving Sales Tax, Commission, Discount, and Markup 6.6Percent Increase and Decrease 6.7Simple and Compound Interest Group Activity: Credit Card Investment 7Measurement 7.1Converting US Customary Units of Length 7.2Converting US Customary Units of Time, Weight, and Capacity 7.3Metric Units of Length 7.4Metric Units of Mass and Capactiy and Medical Applications PRE: US Customary and Metric Conversions 7.5Converting Between US Customary and Metric Units Group Activity: Remodeling the Classroom 8Geometry 8.1Lines and Angles 8.2Triangles and the Pythagorean Theorem 8.3Quadrilaterals, Perimeter, and Area 8.4Circles, Circumference, and Area PRE: Area, Perimeter, and Circumference 8.5Volume Group Activity: Constructing a Golden Rectangle 9Introduction to Statistics 9.1Tables, Bar Graphs, Pictographs, and Lines Graphs 9.2Frequency Distributions and Histograms 9.3Circle Graphs 9.4Mean, Median, and Mode 9.5Introduction to Probability Group Activity: Creating a Statistical Report 10Real Numbers 10.1Real Numbers and the Real Number Line 10.2Addition of Real Numbers 10.3Subtraction of Real Numbers PRE: Addition and Subtraction of Real Numbers 10.4Multiplication and Division of Real Numbers PRE: Operations on Real Numbers 10.5Order of Operations Group Activity: Checking Weather Predictions 11Solving Equations 11.1Properties of Real Numbers 11.2Simplifying Expressions 11.3Addition and Subtraction Properties of Equality 11.4Multiplication and Division Properties of Equality 11.5Solving Equations with Multiple Steps PRE: Equations versus Expressions 11.6Applications and Problem Solving Group Activity: Deciphering a Coded Message Additional Topics Appendix A.1Energy and Power A.2Scientific Notation A.3Rectangular Coordinate System
