Showing why math matters Gary Rockswold doesnt just mention real-world examples; he teaches mathematical concepts through those applications. For example  if we look at Facebook usage over time  what might that tell us about linear growth and predictions? In this way  students learn the concepts in the context of the world they know  which leads to better understanding and retention. From there  the author shows a connection between application  modeling  and visualization. Rockswold is known for presenting the concept of a function as a unifying theme  with an emphasis on the rule of four (verbal  graphical  numerical  and symbolic representations). The 6th Edition emphasizes conceptual understanding with new in-chapter features and assignment options  while at the same time providing tools to empower instructors to make their classroom more active through collaboration and group work. Also available with MyLab Math MyLabTM Math is an online homework  tutorial  and assessment program designed to work with this text to engage students and improve results. Within its structured environment  students practice what they learn  test their understanding  and pursue a personalized study plan that helps them absorb course material and understand difficult concepts. The 6th Edition continues to expand the comprehensive auto-graded exercise options. The pre-existing exercises were carefully reviewed  vetted  and improved using aggregated student usage and performance data over time. In addition  MyLab Math includes new options to support conceptual learning  visualization  and student preparedness.
