Additional practice exercises have also been added to the end of each chapter, varying in their level of application. A new appendix E offers a refresher on basic arithmetic operations and includes accompanying exercises. Finally, the rich pedagogical features in the new edition include sidebars offering additional technical information about the topics presented and points that reinforce major themes in the book.
