The 3rd edition of Cynthia Young's Algebra and Trigonometry brings together all the elements that have  allowed instructors and learners to successfully "bridge the gap"  between classroom instruction and independent homework by  overcoming common learning barriers and building confidence in  students' ability to do mathematics. Written in a clear, voice that speaks to students and mirrors how instructors communicate in lecture, Young's hallmark pedagogy enables students to become independent, successful learners. Varied exercise types and modeling projects keep the learning fresh and motivating. The seamless integration of Cynthia Young's Algebra and Trigonometry, 3rd  edition with WileyPLUS, a  research-based, online environment for effective teaching and  learning, continues Young's vision of building student confidence  in mathematics because it takes the guesswork out of studying by  providing them with a clear roadmap: what to do, how to do it, and  whether they did it right.WileyPLUS sold separately from text.

The authors use a variety of tools and techniques—including side-by-side algebraic and graphical solutions and graphing calculators, when appropriate—to engage and motivate all types of learners. Abundant applications, many of which use real data, provide a context for learning and understanding the math.  MyMathLab provides a wide range of homework, tutorial, and assessment tools that make it easy to manage your course online. 

Appropriate for a two-semester course of beginning and intermediate algebra. By requiring the use of the graphing calculator, this text joins a leading trend in the developmental math market. The authors' state their view on their use of technology as, "We use the graphing technology to enhance, not to replace, the students' mathematical skills." Elementary and Intermediate Algebra: Graphs and Models covers both elementary and intermediate algebra without the repetition of instruction necessary in two separate texts. Geared toward helping students learn and apply mathematics by incorporating the hallmark Bittinger Five-Step problem-solving process, this text integrates real world applications with proven pedagogy and an accessible writing style. This text will be graphing calculator required but still has a strong balance of skill and drill algebra.

In Echoing Hylas, Mark Heerink argues that the story of Hylas—a famous episode of the Argonauts’ voyage—was used by poets throughout classical antiquity to reflect symbolically on the position of their poetry in the literary tradition. Certain elements of the story, including the characters of Hylas and Hercules themselves, functioned as metaphors of the art of poetry. In the Hellenistic age, for example, the poet Theocritus employed Hylas as an emblem of his innovative bucolic verse, contrasting the boy with Hercules, who symbolized an older, heroic-epic tradition. The Roman poet Propertius further developed and transformed Theocritus’ metapoetical allegory by turning Heracles into an elegiac lover in pursuit of an unattainable object of affection. In this way, the myth of Hylas became the subject of a dialogue among poets across time, from the Hellenistic age to the Flavian era. Each poet, Heerink demonstrates, used elements of the myth to claim his own place in a developing literary tradition.             With this innovative diachronic approach, Heerink opens a new dimension of ancient metapoetics and offers many insights into the works of Apollonius of Rhodes, Theocritus, Virgil, Ovid, Valerius Flaccus, and Statius.
