本書序言

●NEW DISCOVERY PROJECTS GUIDE STUDENTS IN APPLYING THE CONCEPTS THEY'VE MASTERED: Several new Discovery Projects in this edition feature applications or extensions of the concepts that students have just studied in the text. Discover/Discuss/Prove/Write problems at the end of every section encourage students to develop and strengthen their conceptual, critical-thinking and writing skills.
●NEW CHAPTER UNITES KEY TOPICS: The new Chapter 8, "Polar Coordinates, Parametric Equations, and Vectors," unites the topics under the theme of describing curves and motion in a coordinate plane. The applications in the chapter demonstrate the need for different coordinate systems. In the "Focus on Modeling" following the chapter, both parametric equations and vectors are used to model the path and velocity of a projectile.
●NEW REVIEW MATERIAL REINFORCES STUDENT UNDERSTANDING: Updated, effective review material at the end of most chapters now includes a matching exercise to reinforce the fundamental relationship between graphs and equations. This important review also includes a summary of properties and formulas. In addition, a Concept Check provides a step-by-step review of all of the main concepts and applications from the chapter.
●NEW EXERCISES HELP STUDENTS DEVELOP IMPORTANT PROBLEMSOLVING SKILLS: New Problem-Solving exercises in most sections highlight and apply a specific problem-solving principle from the prologue. More than 20% of the overall exercises are new to this edition.
●NEW EXPANDED PROBLEMS IN WEBASSIGN INCLUDE MULTIPLE PARTS TO ENSURE UNDERSTANDING: This edition's new online Expanded Problems take understanding well beyond the basic exercises. These problems ask students to show the specific steps of their work or to explain the reasoning behind the answers they've provided.
●NEW REMEDIAL SUPPORT PREPARES STUDENTS FOR SUCCESS: Revisions throughout Chapter 1 review fundamentals while WebAssign digital resources provide prerequisite support to address readiness gaps, including the College Math Readiness Bootcamp and Just-in-Time review exercises. This edition also offers an expanded Geometry Review appendix that now highlights main concepts from geometry used in this edition, including congruence, similarity, the Pythagorean Theorem, parallel lines and circles.

本書特色

●WEBASSIGN PROVIDES ONLINE TOOLS TO BUILD YOUR STUDENTS’ CONFIDENCE AND ELEVATE PERFORMANCE: Leading WebAssign digital resources provide instant access to expertly designed support for both you and your students. Updated, innovative exercises, "Explore It" interactive learning modules and instructional videos reinforce concepts for students and assist in review.
●REAL-WORLD APPLICATIONS ENGAGE STUDENTS: This title draws upon applications from engineering, physics, chemistry, business, biology, environmental studies and other fields to demonstrate how mathematics is used to model real-life situations. This approach reinforces the relevance and importance of the principles students are learning.
●"FOCUS ON MODELING" SECTIONS SHOW STUDENTS HOW TO APPLY MATHEMATICS: These "Focus on Modeling" sections illustrate modelling techniques as well as how mathematics can be applied to model real-life situations. These sections teach students how to create their own mathematical models rather than use prefabricated formulas.
●TRIGONOMETRY APPROACH PROVIDES FLEXIBILITY IN YOUR INSTRUCTION: The chapters on trigonometry (Chs. 5, 6 and 7) are written so you have a choice of beginning with either the right triangle approach or the unit circle approach. Each approach to trigonometry is accompanied by the applications appropriate for that approach. Students clearly understand the reasons behind the different approaches to trigonometry.

**本書序言**

● 新的探索專案指導學生應用他們所掌握的概念：本版中幾個新的探索專案展示了學生剛在文本中學習的概念的應用或擴展。每個章節結尾的發現/討論/證明/寫作問題鼓勵學生發展和加強他們的概念、批判性思維和寫作技能。
● 新章節統整關鍵主題：新第八章「極座標、參數方程式和向量」統整了描述曲線和運動在坐標平面中的主題。該章中的應用展示了不同坐標系統的需求。在章節後的「專注於建模」部分，參數方程式和向量被用來建模拋射物的路徑和速度。
● 新的複習材料加強學生理解：大多數章節結尾的更新有效的複習材料現在包括一個配對練習，以加強圖形和方程式之間的基本關係。這個重要的複習還包括性質和公式的摘要。此外，概念檢查提供了對章節中所有主要概念和應用的逐步複習。
● 新的練習幫助學生發展重要的解題技能：大多數章節中的新解題練習突顯並應用序言中的特定解題原則。本版中超過20%的練習為新內容。
● 新的擴展問題在WebAssign中包含多個部分以確保理解：本版的新在線擴展問題使理解超越基本練習。這些問題要求學生展示他們工作的具體步驟或解釋他們所提供答案背後的推理。
● 新的補救支持為學生的成功做準備：第一章的修訂回顧了基礎知識，而WebAssign數位資源提供了先決條件支持，以解決準備不足的問題，包括大學數學準備訓練營和即時複習練習。本版還提供了一個擴展的幾何複習附錄，現在突顯了本版中使用的幾何主要概念，包括全等、相似、畢氏定理、平行線和圓。

**本書特色**

● WebAssign提供在線工具以建立學生的信心並提升表現：領先的WebAssign數位資源為您和您的學生提供即時訪問專業設計的支持。更新的創新練習、「探索它」互動學習模組和教學視頻加強學生的概念並協助複習。
● 實際應用吸引學生：本書利用來自工程、物理、化學、商業、生物學、環境研究和其他領域的應用，展示數學如何用來建模現實情況。這種方法加強了學生所學原則的相關性和重要性。
● 「專注於建模」部分展示學生如何應用數學：這些「專注於建模」部分說明了建模技術以及數學如何應用於建模現實情況。這些部分教導學生如何創建自己的數學模型，而不是使用預製的公式。
● 三角學方法提供教學的靈活性：三角學的章節（第5、6和7章）編寫得讓您可以選擇從直角三角形方法或單位圓方法開始。每種三角學方法都附有適合該方法的應用。學生清楚理解不同三角學方法背後的原因。
