Features
Each chapter concentrates on a manageable number of main ideas (most commonly three or four) and reinforces each idea several times throughout the chapter. This patient, confidence-building approach guides students through unfamiliar terrain and helps them to focus their efforts on the most important tools and concepts of our discipline.
- Each chapter opens with the chapter's Learning Objectives - a list of (usually) three or four tasks the student will be able to perform after completing the chapter. Each item in the Learning Objective corresponds to a major section of the chapter that engages the student with a conversational writing style, well chosen examples and rich, carefully designed illustrations.
- A full-page Review containing Practice Problems and an In the News exercise, each with solutions, immediately follows each chapter section. The Reviews serve as stopping points and encourage students to review the concept and to practise using it before moving on to new ideas. Graphs and tables bring added clarity to the Review problems and solutions.
- A Chapter Summary summarises what the student has just learned with a set of key points and a list of key terms.
- Following the Chapter Summary, the Chapter Review includes a set of Study Plan Problems and Applications, a set of Additional Problems and Applications, and a Multiple Choice Quiz.
