Three components contribute to a theme sustained throughout the Coburn-Herdlick Series: that of laying a firm foundation building a solid framework and providing strong connections. In the Graphs and Models texts the authors combine their depth of experience with the conversational style and the wealth of applications that the Coburn-Herdlick texts have become known for. By combining a graphical approach to problem solving with algebraic methods students learn how to relate their mathematical knowledge to the outside world. The authors use technology to solve the more true-to life equations to engage more applications and to explore the more substantial questions involving graphical behavior. Benefiting from the feedback of hundreds of instructors and students across the country College Algebra: Graphs & Models emphasizes connections in order to improve the level of student engagement in mathematics and increase their chances of success in college algebra. The launch of the Coburn/Herdlick Graphs and Models series provides a significant leap forward in terms of online course management with McGraw-Hills new homework platform Connect Math Hosted by ALEKS Corp. Math instructors served as digital contributors to choose the problems that will be available authoring each algorithm and providing stepped out solutions that go into great detail and are focused on areas where students commonly make mistakes. From there the ALEKS Corporation reviewed each algorithm to ensure accuracy. A unifying theme throughout the entire process was the involvement of the authors. Through each step they provided feedback and guidance to the digital contributors to ensure that the content being developed digitally closely matched the textbook. The result is an online homework platform that provides superior content and feedback allowing students to effectively learn the material being taught.

Three components contribute to a theme sustained throughout the Coburn Series: that of laying a firm foundation building a solid framework and providing strong connections. Not only does Coburn present a sound problem-solving process to teach students to recognize a problem organize a procedure and formulate a solution the text encourages students to see beyond procedures in an effort to gain a greater understanding of the big ideas behind mathematical concepts. Written in a readable yet mathematically mature manner appropriate for college algebra level students Coburns Precalculus uses narrative extensive examples and a range of exercises to connect seemingly disparate mathematical topics into a cohesive whole. Coburns hallmark applications are born out of the authors extensive experiences in and outside the classroom and appeal to the vast diversity of students and teaching methods in this course area. Benefiting from the feedback of hundreds of instructors and students across the country Precalculus second edition continues to emphasize connections in order to improve the level of student engagement in mathematics and increase their chances of success in college algebra.

Debuts: An Introduction to French Student Edition

# data[].attributes.description
Welcome to Debuts: a completely integrated film-based introductory course for learning French language and culture. The film narrative of Le Chemin du retour is what drives the scope and sequence of vocabulary and grammar the presentation of culture and the development of reading and writing. A two-hour feature-length film Le Chemin du retour is the story of a young television journalist Camille Leclair and her pursuit of the truth about her grandfathers mysterious past. Through Camilles quest students learn language and culture in the functional context provided by the story. The textbook/film package grew out of the authors conviction that language learning is more than just learning skills: it is also a process in which understanding of culture must surely occupy a central position. Therefore Debuts and Le Chemin du retour emphasize the importance of cultural awareness and understanding not only of French and Francophone culture but also of the students own culture. In addition the Debuts program contains both literary and cultural readings as well as a playlist of Francophone songs to provide even more authentic input to students on current or provocative topics allowing for more student interaction in class.There is also CourseSmart eTextbook version of this title available. Students can save up to 50% off the cost of a print book reduce their impact on the environment and access powerful web tools for learning. Faculty can also review and compare the full text online without having to wait for a print desk copy. For maxiumum portability e Textbooks can be viewed on an iPhone or iPod Touch and they can be printed.

Introduction to Logic Design by Alan Marcovitz is intended for the first course in logic design taken by computer science computer engineering and electrical engineering students. As with the previous editions this edition has a clear presentation of fundamentals and an exceptional collection of examples solved problems and exercises.The text integrates laboratory experiences both hardware and computer simulation while not making them mandatory for following the main flow of the chapters. Design is emphasized throughout and switching algebra is developed as a tool for analyzing and implementing digital systems. The presentation includes excellent coverage of minimization of combinational circuits including multiple output ones using the Karnaugh map and iterated consensus. There are a number of examples of the design of larger systems both combinational and sequential using medium scale integrated circuits and programmable logic devices. The third edition features two chapters on sequential systems. The first chapter covers analysis of sequential systems and the second covers design. Complete coverage of the analysis and design of synchronous sequential systems adds to the comprehensive nature of the text. The derivation of state tables from word problems further emphasizes the practical implementation of the material being presented.
