Mindset materials that help students develop a growth mindset are now included in the MyLab Math course. Deliver trusted content Develop conceptual understanding with course-specific resources and interactive features New!
Section lecture videos cover the section objectives with a modern, clear, and engaging approach. The videos incorporate the use of animations, applets, and StatCrunch to demonstrate concepts, making use of resources available to students in the MyLab Math course.
The Animations Library will help students explore concepts more deeply, encouraging them to visualize and interact with concepts such as Venn diagrams, probability, logic, debt, graph theory, geometry, statistics, and more. An icon in the text indicates where the animations can aid in understanding. Interactive Concept Check videos with assignable MyLab Math questions walk students through a concept and then ask them to answer a question within the video.
If students answer correctly, the concept is summarized. If a student selects one of the two incorrect answers, the video continues focusing on why students probably selected that answer and works to correct that line of thinking and explain the concept.
Then students get another chance to answer a question to prove mastery. Data sets will also be available for ease of use in the StatCrunch program. Students gain experience working hands-on with data and visualizations, strengthening their understanding of key concepts.
New to This Edition. Exercise sets are updated, with over new or modified exercises — many with an emphasis on career applications. Real data in the form of graphs, charts, and tables offers updated information from magazines, newspapers, and the Internet to create real applications that are relevant and meaningful.
Actual screen captures from the TI Plus C model calculator are included. Revised and additional Chapter Openers address a situation related to a particular career; some include a problem that the reader is asked to solve.
Many section-opening learning objectives are reworded for clarity and specificity. A refreshed layout offers more strategic use of color, new photos and art, and opened exposition. Reach every student with MyLab Math MyLab Math Integrated Review content uses newly developed worksheets including key terms, summaries, notes, guided problems, and practice problems.

Mindset materials that help students develop a growth mindset are now included. Table of Contents 1. The Art of Problem Solving 1.
The Basic Concepts of Set Theory 2. Introduction to Logic 3. Numeration Systems 4. Number Theory 5. The Real Numbers and Their Representations 6. Series This product is part of the following series. Every chapter begins with an application taken from a movie or television program, showing usage of good, bad, and ugly mathematics—because students can learn from all three types. For example, Chapter 1 begins with the accurate and infamous scene from Die Hard with a Vengeance where the characters played by Bruce Willis and Samuel L.
Jackson must solve a math problem involving jugs of water to keep a bomb from exploding. Numerous, carefully written examples illustrate the concepts and skills introduced, giving students step-by-step directions for solving similar problems. Annotations clarify these examples and prepare students for the exercises that follow.
Pointers in the examples provide students with on-the-spot reminders and warnings to help avoid common pitfalls Varied exercise sets include drill, conceptual, and applied problems. Many exercises have been updated with new applications and real-life data.
Margin notes are interspersed throughout the text and deal with various subjects such as lives of mathematicians, historical vignettes, anecdotes, newspaper and magazine articles, and current research in mathematics.
Many notes reinforce the movie and television theme. Problem-Solving Hints are integrated throughout each chapter, reminding students of the problem-solving strategies discussed in Chapter 1. For Further Thought features encourage students to think and ask questions about a concept on a deeper level.
Extensions are mini-sections delving deeper into an interesting topic and even include their own exercise sets. Collaborative Investigations at the end of each chapter address the issue of cooperative learning. These exercises can be done in small groups or with the whole class, and are designed to promote communication about mathematics topics.
New to This Edition. Movie and television references are updated throughout the book, including Shrek the Third , Mean Girls , the Superbowl , and more.
In addition, perforated movie cards have been added to the back of the book to provide new ideas for ways to integrate recent movie clips into the course.
Pointers have been added to Examples, which guide students and provide reminders and warnings to avoid common pitfalls. Carefully refined content reflects user and reviewer feedback. That is, the final region of interest is given by.
This is the same set as B itself. But by definition, there can be no elements outside the universal set. But this is the universal set, U.
Placing the elements of these sets in the proper location on a Venn diagram will yield the following diagram. It helps to identify those elements in the intersection of A, B, and C first, then those elements not in this intersection but in each of the two set intersections e.
The shaded area is in A and, at the same time, outside the union of B with C. Thus, by the Venn diagrams, the shaded region is in A; therefore, the statement is always true. Thus, by the Venn diagrams, the statement is always true. No, since there may be elements in B that are not in A.
Completing the cardinalities for each region, we arrive at the following Venn diagram. Use deduction to complete the cardinalities of the unknown regions. This leaves a total of 33 elements in the regions formed by A along with B. Thus, there are 10 elements left in U that are not in A or in B.
Since there is a total of 13 elements in A and 8 accounted for in the intersection of A and B, there must be 5 elements in A outside of B. Since there is a total of 15 elements in the union of A and B with 13 accounted for in A, there must be 2 elements in B which are not. And finally, adding the elements in the regions of A, B, and C gives a total of Complete a Venn diagram showing the cardinality for each region. That is, there are 2 elements. Interpreting the resulting cardinalities we see that: a There are 2 CDs which feature only Paul Simon.
Construct a Venn diagram and label the number of elements in each region. The completed Venn diagram is as follows:. Let U be the set of mathematics majors receiving federal aid.
Study, and receiving TOPS scholarships, respectively. Since the 5 with Pell Grants had no other federal aid, 5 goes in set P, which does not intersect the other regions. Place 2 in the intersection of W and T. The completed Venn diagram is as follows. Let U be the set of people interviewed, and let M, E, and G represent the sets of people using microwave ovens, electric ranges, and gas ranges, respectively.
The completed Venn. Construct a Venn diagram and label the cardinal number of each region. Then we are given the following information. Add the cardinal numbers of all the regions to find that the total number of students interviewed was Construct a Venn diagram to represent the survey data beginning with the region representing the intersection of S, B, and C.
