Material Detail

Fundamentals of Mathematics is a work text that will help the student develop the insight and intuition necessary to master arithmetic techniques and manipulative skills. It was written with the following main objectives:

• to provide the student with an understandable and usable source of information,
• to provide the student with the maximum opportunity to see that arithmetic concepts and techniques are logically based,
• to instill in the student the understanding and intuitive skills necessary to know how and when to use particular arithmetic concepts in subsequent material, courses, and nonclassroom situations, and
• to give the student the ability to correctly interpret arithmetically obtained results.

The authors have tried to meet these objectives by presenting material dynamically, much the way an instructor might present the material visually in a classroom. Intuition and understanding are some of the keys to creative thinking; the material presented in this text will help the student realize that mathematics is a creative subject.

This text can be used in standard lecture or self-paced classes.
