The 49 papers in this volume examine how the mathematics courses below calculus might be refocused to provide better mathematical experiences for all students. The initiative involves a greater emphasis on conceptual understanding and de-emphasizes rote manipulation. It encourages the use of realistic applications, math modeling and data analysis that reflect the way math is used in other disciplines. The authors underscore the importance of communication skills and the appropriate use of technology to enhance conceptual understanding. Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
