Explorations in College Algebra, 6th Edition
By Linda Almgren Kime, Judy Clark, and Beverly K. Michael
The overarching goal of Explorations in College Algebra is to reshape the college algebra course and make it more relevant and accessible to all students. This is achieved by shifting the focus from learning a set of discrete mechanical rules to exploring how algebra is used in social and physical sciences and in the world. By connecting mathematics to real-life situations, students will come to appreciate its power and beauty.
WileyPLUS for Explorations in College Algebra includes ORION Adaptive Practice that helps students build their proficiency on topics and use their study time more effectively.
