Freshman Seminar: Math

From the different categories of numbers to mathematical operations, fractions, percentages, roots and powers, and a short intro to algebraic expressions and equations, Basic Math & Pre-Algebra All-in-One For Dummies is an essential companion for anyone who wants to get a handle on the foundational math concepts that are the building blocks for Algebra and beyond.

You'll get an overview of solving linear and quadratic equations, using ratios and proportions, decoding word problems, graphing and interpreting functions, modeling the real world with statistics, and other concepts found in today's algebra courses. This book also contains a brief review of pre-algebra topics, including arithmetic and fractions.

Not only provides students enrolled in Statistics I with an excellent high-level overview of key concepts, but it also serves as a reference or refresher for students in upper-level statistics courses. To the point, with content focused on key course topics only. It provides discrete explanations of essential concepts taught in a typical first semester college-level statistics course, from odds and error margins to confidence intervals and conclusions.

By presenting the essential topics in a clear and concise manner, the book helps students improve their understanding of pre-calculus and become prepared for upper level math courses. Provides fundamental information in an approachable manner. Includes fresh example problems.

This textbook offers a high-level introduction to multi-variable differential calculus. Differential forms are introduced incrementally in the narrative, eventually leading to a unified treatment of Green's, Stokes' and Gauss' theorems. Furthermore, the presentation offers a natural route to differential geometry.

TI-84 Plus CE Graphing Calculator For Dummies teaches you how to use these handy little machines with confidence, for basic math and far, far beyond. You'll learn how to navigate the home screen, menus, and mode settings. And we'll teach you how to use your calculator--starting with basic arithmetic functions and stepping up through matrices, complex numbers, and beyond. You can even learn about probability and how to conduct statistical data analysis with your TI-84+.

This compendium introduces readers to a brilliant collection of original thinkers. The group encompasses ancient sages, Renaissance geniuses, Enlightenment-era polymaths, nineteenth-century innovators, some of the greatest minds of the twentieth century, and current leaders in the field. Also covered are the geniuses whose names are preserved in Fermat's Last Theorem, Boolean algebra, and the Fibonacci sequence.

Students interested in math are often adept problem solvers with essential critical-thinking skills that can complement countless other fields of study and that are useful in a wide range of careers. Readers will learn how a background in math can be channeled into real-world opportunities in such high-interest areas as architecture, physics, astronomy, engineering, financial analysis, economics, and even sports analysis. This volume also guides math students through the process of finding and applying for jobs and describes the numerous possibilities for continued personal and professional development in the careers available to them.
