Quantitative Reasoning: Tools for Today?s Informed Citizen

This Second Edition of Quantitative Reasoning empowers students to use quantitative information to make responsible financial, environmental, and health–related decisions in their daily lives. Students develop their critical thinking skills through numerous examples, explorations, and activities featuring real data. Students use a variety of analysis throughout the text: inductive and deductive reasoning; tabular, symbolic, verbal, and graphical forms of functions and relations; graphs and pictorial representations of data; interpretations of probabilistic data; surveys and statistical studies. Sevilla and Somer?s Quantitative Reasoning, 2nd Edition comes available with WileyPLUS, a research–based, online environment for effective teaching and learning, which 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.
