Functions Modeling Change, 6th edition prepares students for
Calculus by stressing conceptual understanding and the connections among
mathematical ideas. The authors emphasize depth of understanding rather
than breadth of coverage. Each function is presented symbolically,
numerically, graphically and verbally (the Rule of Four.) Students are
encouraged to create mathematical models that relate to the world around
them and are exposed to a large number of real-world applications,
examples, and problems.
