Marge's intense desire to educate both her students and herself has inspired the writing of numerous best-selling textbooks. Marge, who received bachelor's and master's degrees from California State University at Sacramento, was affiliated with American River College.

An avid reader and traveler, her travel experiences often found their way into her books as applications, exercise sets, and feature sets. Her interest in archeology led to trips to various digs and ruin sites, producing some fascinating problems for her textbooks involving such topics as the building of Mayan pyramids and the acoustics of ancient ball courts in the Yucatan. Raymond N. Greenwell earned a B. After teaching at Albion College in Michigan for four years, he moved to Hofstra University in , where he currently is Professor of Mathematics.

Raymond has published articles on fluid mechanics, mathematical biology, genetic algorithms, combinatorics, statistics, and undergraduate mathematics education. He has served as governor of the Metropolitan New York Section of the MAA, as well as webmaster and liaison coordinator, and he received a distinguished service award from the Section in Nathan P.

Ritchey earned a B. He earned a M. He has published articles in economics, honors education, medicine, mathematics, operations research, and student recruitment. Katherine Ritchey earned a B. She earned a Ph. While at OSU, she began her lifelong dream of teaching mathematics and was awarded several graduate student teaching awards.

Blain A. He has published articles in various mathematics and education journals on mathematics teacher education, learning disabilities, middle school mathematics education, and cryptography. When he is not thinking about mathematics, Blain enjoys spending time outdoors with his dogs and playing board games.

Sarah Ritchey Patterson earned a B. Sarah is currently an assistant professor at the Virginia Military Institute. Her research interests include computational fluid dynamics, fluid-structure interaction problems, and mathematical modeling. Sarah actively advises undergraduate research projects and uses this perspective to enhance her teaching and the textbook. Geoffrey H.

Krader received a B. A in Mathematics from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. After college, Geoff began a career in private industry, where he directed large, global software development teams at Bell Laboratories and Lucent Technologies. He retired after 25 years to begin a second career in teaching, something he had enjoyed since graduate school where he was a teaching assistant.

For 15 years, Geoff was a full-time faculty member in the mathematics department at Morton College, just outside of Chicago. At Morton, he led a redesign of the developmental mathematics curriculum that improved student outcomes, and he used his business experience to bring real-life examples into the courses he taught.

Geoff is also an avid traveler and photographer. He has visited all 50 U. Cloth Bound with Access Card. Technology coverage has been updated to include the TIplus with its new operating system. Care has been taken to ensure that these activities are strictly geared toward helping students discover new ideas or affirm concepts they have learned. In addition, some Incorporating Technology topics use smartphone apps as the tool to solve the problem.

Extensively revised examples and exercises help students learn and practice the material. Health Statistics is a new topic included in Chapter 6. This topic brings real meaning to the statistics in television commercials and health studies. The addition of this topic is a great example of how these authors keep the content up-to-date and relevant for students. MyMathLab has been extensively updated to include: Hundreds more assignable exercises than the previous edition Interactive Figures for key concepts in the course—great for use in lecture as a tool to build geometric understanding.

Interactive Figure exercises provide a way to engage students with the figures. Table of Contents Preface 1. Linear Equations and Straight Lines 1. Linear Programming, A Geometric Approach 3.
