Foundations for College Mathematics
Author: Ed Laughbaum, Ohio State University
Foundations offers a blend of reform and traditional intermediate algebra-level material. It has three audiences: a mainstream intermediate algebra text for colleges, a mainstream Algebra II text for high schools, and a soft track junior/senior high school math course that is designed to provide a bridge to college mathematics. Graphing calculator technology is integrated throughout to enhance the learning and teaching of mathematical concepts and skills, and for performing algorithms. There is reduced emphasis on the use of symbol manipulation and increased emphasis on the use of function as a central theme.
For high school students desiring to go to directly to work after graduation, there are many real-world connections that will be extremely useful. For college students, Foundations offers the flexibility of providing solid mathematics for future math and science courses and it also offers useful mathematics for those taking intermediate algebra as a terminal course.
Foundations for College Mathematics is available in hardbound and softbound editions. The teacher version of Leading Discussion Questions, Explorations, Concept Quizzes, Investigations, Writing Mathematics, Chapter Tests, and Modeling Projects for Foundations for College Mathematics is available as an ancillary and is free to adopting sites. A student workbook version of this classroom-ready material is available in a softbound print version at a nominal cost.

Learning Mathematics through the TI-92
Authors: J. S. Berry, E. Graham, A. J. Watkins
Learning Mathematics through the TI-92 develops the foundation mathematics needed by scientists and engineers through the use of the Texas Instruments TI-92. The authors emphasize its use as an investigative tool to introduce, and help students understand, basic concepts in mathematics, and as a problem solving tool for solving real problems from the world of science and engineering.
The book is written primarily for students who have not studied mathematics in depth at school, and will prepare them for a foundation course in science or engineering. However, the book also provides an introduction to the use of the TI-92 for those students who are already familiar with scientific functions and calculus.
Learning Mathematics through the TI-92 provides an exciting and unique opportunity for students to learn and use mathematics in a refreshing way. The experience of the authors in teaching engineering students at Plymouth shows how their approach provides the understanding and confidence to succeed in learning mathematics.
