  • Enhanced Exercise Sets deliver more rigor, relevancy, and coverage than ever before.

  • MindTap is an online learning environment that combines student learning tools into a single Learning Environment

  • Enhanced Exercise Sets feature multi-step, real-life exercises to reinforce problem-solving skills and mastery of concepts.

  • Side-By-Side Examples help students see not only that a problem can be solved in more than one way but also how different methods--algebraically, graphically, and numerically--yield the same result. The side-by-side format also addresses many different learning styles.

  • Algebra Helps direct students to sections of the textbook where they can review algebra skills needed to master the current topic.

  • How Do You See It? Exercises in every section present real-life problems that students solve by visual inspection using the concepts in the lesson.

  • Technology Features offer suggestions for effectively using tools such as calculators, graphing calculators, and spreadsheet programs to deepen student understanding of concepts, ease lengthy calculations, and provide alternate solution methods for verifying answers obtained by hand.

  • Section Objectives offer students the opportunity to preview what will be presented in the upcoming section

  • Historical Notes provide helpful information regarding basic mathematical foundations.

  • Algebra of Calculus Examples and Exercises throughout the text emphasize various algebraic techniques used in calculus.

  • Enriched Remarks reinforce or expand on concepts helping students learn how to study mathematics, avoid common errors, address special cases, or show alternative or additional steps to a solution of an example.

  • Vocabulary Exercises at the beginning of the exercise set for each section help students review previously learned vocabulary terms necessary to solve the section exercises.

  • Student Projects in various sections and online feature in-depth applied exercises with large, real-life data sets, where students create or analyze models.

  • Chapter Summaries include explanations and examples of the objectives taught in the chapter.

  • Larson ALGEBRA AND TRIGONOMETRY is ideal for a two-semester course.
