For example, if we look at Facebook usage over time, what might that tell us about linear growth and predictions? In this way, students learn the concepts in the context of the world they know, which leads to better understanding and retention. From there, the author shows a connection between application, modeling, and visualization. Rockswold is known for presenting the concept of a function as a unifying theme, with an emphasis on the rule of four (verbal, graphical, numerical, and symbolic representations). The 6th Edition emphasizes conceptual understanding with new in-chapter features and assignment options, while at the same time providing tools to empower instructors to make their classroom more active through collaboration and group work. 0134763858 / 9780134763859 College Algebra with Integrated Review plus MyMathLab with Pearson eText and Guided Notebook with Integrated Review Worksheets -- Title-Specific Access Card Package, 6/e Package consists of: 0134418042 / 9780134418049 College Algebra with Modeling & Visualization 0134576160 / 9780134576169 Guided Notebook with Integrated Review Worksheets for College Algebra with Modeling & Visualization 0134753429 / 9780134753423 MyMathLab with Pearson eText -- Standalone Access Card -- College Algebra with Integrated Review
