Thinking Mathematically

By Robert Blitzer

Book Overview

For courses in Liberal Arts Mathematics.

Show students their world is profoundly mathematical, meaningful, and fun

Students often struggle to find the relevance of math in their everyday lives. In Thinking Mathematically, 7th Edition, Bob Blitzer's distinctive and relatable voice engages students in the world of math through compelling, real-world applications -- student-loan debt, time breakdown for an average NFL broadcast, and many more.

Understanding that most students in this course are not math majors (and are unlikely to take another math class), Blitzer uses current data compiled from hundreds of books, magazines, and online sources to show students how truly meaningful and fun math can be.

Thinking Mathematically

This is the best introduction to higher grade high school and basic college algebra I have ever seen.

Great!

Came in excellent condition, very very quick delivery. I was very pleased with the whole transaction, Thank you so much!

This book is truly outstanding.....

As an upper level high school mathematics teacher, I have to say that Blitzer's text "Thinking Mathematically" is truly an outstanding book! - for both the student and the teacher. He explains concepts in an extraordinarly thorough and direct way, with a lot of great worked out examples and terrific exercise sets that increase student knowledge and insight regarding the concepts and computations. Having used both this book and Blitzer's other PreCalculus text, I can honestly say that his books for the secondary market put most of the other books out there to shame - there's really just no comparison. If you're a student who really wants to learn math, or a teacher who appreciates great support materials, then you really do have to get this text, as well as Blitzer's other texts, such as "PreCalculus". You won't find a better book out there regarding secondary/college prep math and it's teaching/ applications.
