New to the Book Co-authors Joel Hass and Chris Heil reconsidered every word, symbol, and piece of art, motivating students to consider the content from different perspectives and compelling a deeper, geometric understanding. Updated graphics emphasize clear visualization and mathematical correctness. New examples and figures have been added throughout all chapters, many based on user feedback. See, for instance, Example 3 in Section 9.1, which helps students overcome a conceptual obstacle. New types of homework exercises , including many geometric in nature, have been added. The new exercises provide different perspectives and approaches to each topic. Short URLs have been added to the historical marginnotes, allowing students to navigate directly to online information.


New annotations within examples (in blue type) guide the student through the problem solution and emphasize that each step in a mathematical argument is rigorously justified. All chapters have been revised for clarity, consistency, conciseness, and comprehension.

Within its structured environment, students practice what they learn, test their understanding, and pursue a personalized study plan that helps them absorb course material and understand difficult concepts. A full suite of Interactive Figures have been added to the accompanying MyLab Math course to further support teaching and learning. Enhanced Sample Assignments include just-in-time prerequisite review, help keep skills fresh with distributed practice of key concepts, and provide opportunities to work exercises without learning aids to help students develop confidence in their ability to solve problems independently. New to Pearson MyLab Math: The new edition continues to expand the comprehensive auto-graded exercise options. The pre-existing exercises were carefully reviewed, vetted, and improved using aggregated student usage and performance data over t.
