This
book begins where Foundations of Mathematics ends and
provides an interesting and applied exploration of topics such as
solving equations, basic geometry, tables and statistics, and
graphing. Each section, which consists of pre-activity information
and an activity, presents students with the required background
information, formal methodologies (with examples), and models that
demonstrate the use of the methodologies. The use of validation is
continually stressed, as students are challenged to work with
increasingly complex problems.
