xiv PREFACE 7 Animations – Animations let students interact with the math in a visual, tangible way. These interactive figures, powered by GeoGebra, allow students to explore and manipulate the mathematical concepts, leading to more durable understanding. They can also be used by instructors in the classroom to enhance instruction. Look for the Animation icons in the margins. 7 StatCrunch – StatCrunch is a powerful web-based statistical software that allows users to collect, crunch, and communicate with data. Now integrated into this MyLab Math course, StatCrunch can be used to analyze and understand statistical concepts. DS icons in the text indicate that a data set is available to download online and analyze in statistical software, such as StatCrunch or Excel. StatCrunch applets are available in the MyLab Math course. 7 Mindset Videos – These videos and assignable, open-ended exercises foster a growth mindset in students. This material encourages them to maintain a positive attitude about learning, value their own ability to grow, and view mistakes as learning opportunities—which so often presents a hurdle for math students. 7 Integrated Review – Ideal for a corequisite course, or simply to get underprepared students up to speed, Integrated Review includes assessments, assignments, and resources on prerequisite topics. For each chapter, pre-made, assignable (and editable) quizzes assess students’ understanding of the prerequisite skills needed for that chapter. Personalized follow-up homework assignments and remediation resources, in the form of videos and worksheets, are available for any gaps in skills that are identified. 7 Student Solutions Manual – This manual provides detailed worked-out solutions to odd-numbered exercises, and to all Chapter Review and Test exercises.
