El propósito de este texto es mostrar cómo algunos conceptos matemáticos (fracción, porcentaje, medias aritméticas y variación porcentual) se aplican en situaciones de la vida cotidiana. La mayoría de ellos se abordan con más de un sistema de representación y, en lo posible, algunos problemas implican la reversibilidad de las operaciones. Cada unidad está organizada en la siguiente secuencia: Problema, teoría, aplicaciones y bibliografía. Estas notas de clase están dirigidas a estudiantes que deban cursar una asignatura relacionada con el Razonamiento Cuantitativo.

Allowing students to focus on real-life applications of mathematics. Selected examples feature traditional algebraic as well as optional graphing calculator solutions. We have taken great care to only use this format in examples where the graphing calculator can naturally be used to support and/or enhance the algebraic solution. For those interested in Mathematics.
