Description

Iterative Algebra and Dynamic Modeling links together the use of technology (Excel spreadsheets, Stella modeling software) and modern mathematical techniques to explore the interaction of algebra (at the pre-calculus level) with computer and graphing calculator technology. This book was developed to teach modern applications of mathematics at an introductory level. It is based on the authors well-received teacher-training workshops using the materials.
