offer a great value–this format costs significantly less than a new textbook.   The Rockswold/Krieger algebra series uses relevant applications and visualization to show students why math matters and to give them a conceptual understanding. It answers the common question “When will I ever use this?” Rockswold teaches students the math in context, rather than including the applications at the end of the presentation. By seamlessly integrating meaningful applications that include real data and supporting visuals (graphs, tables, charts, colors, and diagrams), students are able to see how math impacts their lives as they learn the concepts. The authors believe this approach deepens conceptual understanding and better prepares students for future math courses and life.
