For courses in Liberal Arts Mathematics, this edition helps students see the profound, meaningful, and enjoyable aspects of mathematics in their everyday lives. Many students struggle to connect math with real-world relevance. The text engages them through relatable applications, such as student-loan debt and the time breakdown of an average NFL broadcast. Recognizing that most students are not math majors and may not take further math courses, the author utilizes current data from various sources to demonstrate the significance and enjoyment of math. Additionally, MyLab Math is available as a teaching and learning platform that empowers instructors to reach every student. By combining trusted content with digital tools, MyLab personalizes the learning experience and enhances outcomes. Note that this is a standalone product; MyLab Math is not included with the text.
