David Spiceland, Wayne Thomas and Don Herrmann have developed a unique new text based on over 50 collective years of experience in the classroom. Theyve brought together best practices like highlighting Common Mistakes, offering frequent Stop-and-Go Review Problems, integrating the course with a running Continuing Problem, demonstrating the relevance of the course to non-majors with a Career Corner, and communicating it all in a student-friendly Conversational Writing Style.
