It's not always easy to see how math fits into everyday life. Designed for non-math majors, Thinking Mathematically uses diverse, interesting applications to show how truly relevant and fun math can be: the value of online classes, modeling coronavirus cases, the highest-paid celebrities, and many others. The 8th Edition updates its well-known exercises and examples with new topics and data, explores free online technology and resources, and much more. Blitzer's distinctive, relatable voice shows how our world is both mathematical and meaningful.

Bob Blitzer is a native of Manhattan and received a Bachelor of Arts degree with dual majors in mathematics and psychology (minor: English literature) from the City College of New York. His unusual combination of academic interests led him toward a Master of Arts in mathematics from the University of Miami and a doctorate in behavioral sciences from Nova University. Bob's love for teaching mathematics was nourished for nearly 30 years at Miami Dade College, where he received numerous teaching awards, including Innovator of the Year from the League for Innovations in the Community College and an endowed chair based on excellence in the classroom. In addition to Thinking Mathematically, Bob has written textbooks covering introductory algebra, intermediate algebra, college algebra, algebra and trigonometry, precalculus, and trigonometry.
