FEATURES Active GraphsOver 60 Active Graphs (referenced in the text) allow students to change the value of a variable and look at the effects on the equilibrium. Experience indicates that using graphs in this way considerably strengthens students' intuition and understanding of the mechanisms at work. eGraphsOur new electronic graph builderallows students to plot and create their own graphs using FLASH animation. Graphing Questions, which require the student to analyze a scenario using eGraph, can then be printed or sent electronically to their professor for grading.
