"Graphing population nlooks at the very topical issue of population, over-crowding, and urbanization. Charts and graphs give visual support to the this complex topic, while at the same time promoting data literacy"--Cover [4].

This volume presents the results of several studies involving scientists and technicians. The author describes and analyses the interpretation scientists volunteered given graphs that had been culled from an introductory course and textbook in ecology. He next reports on graph usage in three different workplaces based on his ethnographic research among scientists and technicians.

Explains how children can use charts and graphs to organize and study data related to the environment.

Precalculus: A Functional Approach to Graphing and Problem Solving prepares students for the concepts and applications they will encounter in future calculus courses. In far too many texts, process is stressed over insight and understanding, and students move on to calculus ill equipped to think conceptually about its essential ideas. This text provides sound development of the important mathematical underpinnings of calculus, stimulating problems and exercises, and a well-developed, engaging pedagogy. Students will leave with a clear understanding of what lies ahead in their future calculus courses. Instructors will find that Smith's straightforward, student-friendly presentation provides exactly what they have been looking for in a text!

Teaches children how they can use graphs and charts to organize and study data related to water and its role in the human body and on Earth.

Explains how children can use charts and graphs to organize and study data related to transportation.

Presents information about habitats through charts and graphs.
