About the Book

This elementary algebra text was developed in the spirit of the AMATYC standards for problem solving, modeling, connecting with other disciplines, technology, and calculus reform. Many traditional topics are included in the text, but the development and application of these topics is not traditional. This book takes a "less is best" approach and allows students to take an active role in the learning process through collaborative techniques, hands-on activities, and use of the graphing calculator as a problem-solving tool. Geometric examples and problems are integrated throughout the text. Students explore topics through various activities and use Calculator Based Laboratory (CBL) experiments to generate data describing real-world situations and applications.

Table of Contents:
1. Using Formulas and Variables. Evaluate formulas using substitution. Complete input-output tables for given formulas. Complete input-output tables for relationships represented as graphs. Recognize and complete patterns. Complete input-output tables for a given formula and plot the values as points on a rectangular coordinate system. Solve application problems. Summary of mathematical and calculator concepts. Problems. 2. Solving Linear Equations. Recognize equations and expressions. Solve linear equations numerically using input-output and calculator tables. Solve linear equations graphically using paper-pencil and calculator graphs. Simplify expressions using the distributive law. Solve equations with parentheses graphically, numerically using tables, and algebraically. Set up and solve linear equations from applications. Summary of mathematical and calculator concepts. Problems. 3. Simplifying Expressions. Simplify variable expressions involving addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Simplify variable expressions involving integer exponents. Calculate area and perimeter of geometric figures with dimensions given as variable expressions.
