Transform students into informed consumers of the quantitative information they encounter every day.
Quantitative Literacy: Thinking Between the Lines fully prepares students to be informed consumers of quantitative information with coverage that neatly balances discussions of ideas with computational practice. Through a wide range of examples and applications, the authors show students that they use math in their everyday lives more than they realize, and that learning math takes place in real-world contexts. Students develop critical-thinking and problem-solving skills necessary to make intelligent decisions regarding money, voting and politics, health issues, and much more.
