Sinopsis
ALGEBRA: FORM AND FUNCTION WAS DESIGNED BASED ON THE FUNDAMENTAL GOAL FOR A STUDENT TO FOSTER UNDERSTANDING OF ALGEBRAIC STRUCTURE– THAT IS, AN UNDERSTANDING OF HOW THE ARRANGEMENTS OF SYMBOLS ALLOWS US TO PREDICT, FOR EXAMPLE, THE BEHAVIOR OF A FUNCTION OR THE NUMBER OF SOLUTIONS TO AN EQUATION. MASTERING ALGEBRAIC STRUCTURE ENABLES STUDENTS TO READ ALGEBRAIC EXPRESSIONS AND EQUATIONS IN REAL–LIFE CONTEXTS, NOT JUST MANIPULATE THEM, AND TO CHOOSE WHICH FORM OR WHICH OPERATION WILL BEST SUIT THE CONTEXT.  IT FACILITATES BEING ABLE TO TRANSLATE BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN SYMBOLIC, GRAPHICAL, NUMERICAL, AND VERBAL REPRESENTATIONS. BY BALANCING PRACTICE IN MANIPULATION AND OPPORTUNITIES TO SEE THE BIG PICTURE, ALGEBRA: FORM AND FUNCTION OFFERS A WAY FOR TEACHERS TO HELP STUDENTS ACHIEVE REAL MASTERY OF ALGEBRA.

Reseña del editor
Algebra: Form and Function, 2nd Edition offers a fresh approach to algebra that focuses on teaching readers how to truly understand the principles, rather than viewing them merely as tools for other forms of mathematics. Meant for a College Algebra course, Algebra: Form and Function, 2nd Edition is an introduction to one of the fundamental aspects of modern society. Algebraic equations describe the laws of science, the principles of engineering, and the rules of business. The power of algebra lies in the efficient symbolic representation of complex ideas, which also presents the main difficulty in learning it. It is easy to forget the underlying structure of algebra and rely instead on a surface knowledge of algebraic manipulations. Most students rely on surface knowledge of algebraic manipulations without understanding the underlying structure of algebra that allows them to see patterns and apply it to multiple situations: McCallum focuses on the structure from the start.

In 1989 he joined the Harvard calculus consortium, and is the lead author of the consortium's multivariable calculus and college algebra texts. In 1993-94 he spent a year at the Institut des Hautes Etudes Scientifiques, and in 1995-96 he spent a year at the Institute for Advanced Study on a Centennial Fellowship from the American Mathematical Society. In 2005 he received the Director's Award for Distinguished Teaching Scholars from the National Science Foundation. In 2006 he founded the Institute for Mathematics and Education at the University of Arizona. He was Director of the Institute until 2009 and now chairs its advisory board.

Condición: Acceptable. LIGHTNING FAST SHIPPING! A heavily used, but still working copy. Coffee stain and wrinkling to the edge of the pages when a tired undergrad fell asleep and knocked their cup over on their books. The binding and pages of the book have been reinforced with tape, has tape and stickers on the cover, as well as lots of notes (some of the answers in the learning activities may be filled in) on the pages. Definitely not pretty, but it's a working copy at a great price that ships fast. ~ Book does NOT contain an access code or CD/DVD. Nº de ref. del artículo: #28F-00183
