"Essential Mathematics for the Modern World is among the first textbooks in mathematics that implement CHED’s framework for the subject. It connects and relates with the other new general education subjects by utilizing historical bits and perspectives, posing questions for reflection, honing effective communication skills, and presenting math as a set of tools for many of society’s concerns, among others. The materials included in this volume aim to show to the students why mathematics has kept its relevance through the ages and why it is at the very foundation of many things people do and possess in the modern world. It is hoped that whatever the students set out to do beyond the duration of the course, the pervasiveness and practical application of mathematics will make them realize and appreciate its value and significance in their everyday lives."--Back cover.
