A strong modelling approach and exposure to the use of functions as models of physical and social behaviour is the focus of this text. By placing emphasis on graphing technology, students are helped to explore mathematics and improve their problem-solving skills. The use of technology is emphasized throughout, freeing the student from tedious number-crunching and allowing them to focus on modelling and interpretation of results. Real world projects are included in every chapter, whilst mathematical history is incorporated to help students learn that mathematics is a human endeavour.
