Section 6.3 is now off to Jeffrey for edits. It not only covers exponential equations, but also inequalities (done analytically, I might add, using sign diagrams!) Enjoy the latest iteration here. There is a footnote in 6.3 which really summarizes my feelings towards the book and all those who complain that our approach is, in some sense, too "mathy" for today's college students... (oh, and I assure you, they abound!) I hope to finish 6.4 by Monday, which means I am on track to finish Chapter 6 a bit ahead of schedule. Chapter 7 (the conics) was the first chapter I wrote back in December / January, and it is a great feeling of accomplishment to have come full circle. (So much for those who figured I'd only get a chapter or two done at most!) I am hopeful that Chapters 8 and 9 will go relatively quickly (the topics aren't as "heavy" as the other stuff) and Jeff and I have already started talking about our plans for Trigonometry, which we hope to start in July.
This is my last post on sabbatical. Next week, the title of the Blog will change to indicate my new status. It has been an incredibly busy, yet rewarding experience. Working with Jeff has been great, and I am very optimistic about the book's success.
