A Survey of Mathematics with Applications, 11th Edition © 2021
Allen R. Angel | Christine D. Abbott | Dennis Runde
A Survey of Mathematics with Applications is a text students can understand and enjoy while learning how mathematics affects the world around them, particularly majors in liberal arts, social sciences, business, nursing and allied health. With straightforward language, detailed examples and interesting applications, the authors demonstrate the importance of mathematics in students' lives. The 11th edition updates data throughout, revises Technology Tips, adds new Downloadable Data sets and more.
Hallmark features of this title
- Exercise sets begin with Warm Up Exercises and include Practice the Skills, Problem Solving, Challenge Problems/Group Activities, Recreational Mathematics and Research Activities.
- Why This Is Important helps students connect their lives to mathematical concepts.
- Chapter Openers are interesting applications that include the Why This Is Important section.
- Did You Know? highlights mathematical connections to history, arts and sciences, technology and a range of disciplines.
- Mathematics Today discusses current real-life uses of the chapter's concepts. Each box ends with Why This Is Important.
- Recreational Math invites students to apply math in puzzles, games and brain teasers. Recreational Mathematics problems appear in the exercise sets.
New and updated features of this title
- Annotations on prerequisites are provided on the first page of each section in the Annotated Instructor Edition. This list of prerequisite skills needed for that section are included in the MyLab Math course as the Integrated Review feature, with assessment and remediation available.
- Downloadable Data Sets: For problems and examples in which students are expected to analyze data, the Data Set icon indicates the data is available to download in StatCrunch®, *.txt and *.csv formats.
- Animation and StatCrunch icons throughout the narrative of the text encourage students to get hands on with the topics to enrich their understanding of concepts. These new animations and StatCrunch activities can be used for independent exploration or can be used in class during lectures.
- Technology Tips are updated to go beyond graphing calculators and spreadsheets. Content now includes references to apps on smartphones and tablets to explore various mathematical concepts and to solve application problems.
- Data has been updated to the most current available, and contexts of applications or examples have been updated to be more relevant.
- Updated integrated review provides embedded and personalized review of prerequisite topics within relevant chapters. Premade, editable assignments and resources ensure students are up to speed on prerequisite topics for each chapter. Integrated Review is ideal for both helping underprepared students or for a corequisite course.
- New personal inventory assessments exercises promote self-reflection and engagement, including topics such as a Stress Management Assessment and Time Management Assessment.
- A new Mindset module offers growth mindset-focused videos and exercises that encourage students to maintain a positive attitude about learning, value their own ability to grow, and view mistakes as a learning opportunity.
- New animations let students interact with math visually, allowing them to explore and manipulate mathematical concepts.
- New StatCrunch® activities facilitate active exploration.
- New Tech Help for Statistics exercises: for exercises where students might use statistical software, a Tech Help button gives access to keystroke-by-keystroke instructions for StatCrunch, Excel, and TI Graphing Calculators. The Tech Help button can be suppressed for instructors who don't want students to use these technologies.
