In support of the growing quantitative reasoning movement, Dave Sobecki has created an engaging text and digital product in this fourth edition of Math in Our World. The main goal of this revision was to emphasize the critical thinking and discovery learning typified by quantitative reasoning while maintaining the traditional format of a Liberal Arts Math book. This was addressed in several ways. Many solved examples and Try This One questions were replaced or rewritten to encourage more thinking and less computing. There's more emphasis on appropriate use of technology, freeing instructors and students, to focus on interpretation and application. The Critical Thinking exercises have also been expanded and applications problems have been updated to reflect current data and trends. Finally, a new category of exercise was added in several sections : Using Technology. These are questions specifically designed for students to create spreadsheets to aid in solving interesting problems. As always, the author was deeply engaged in the development of digital content and platform resources to help ensure a consistent experience for students regardless of medium. Dave's use of casual, friendly language and humor continues to result in an exceptionally engaging print and digital program. Math in Our World makes learning the fundamental concepts of a Liberal Arts Math curriculum relevant and accessible to all students, even those who typically struggle with math.
