520			_aProvides a contemporary approach to college algebra. This book includes real-world data sets and situations to draw out mathematical concepts. It lets students immersed in familiar contexts - from golf course ratings to Egyptian pyramids - and are guided in using their understanding of those ideas to make sense of the mathematics.
