Section 7 Alignment with Other Courses
Although the organization of this textbook is not built around other first semester courses (such as a quantitative literacy course or a "liberal arts" math course), the content of the course is perhaps even more valuable to those students and those classes. Those students are actually the ones I have had the most experience teaching. However, those courses tend to be quite varied in their structure, and so it would be impossible to align this text with that. While the branches are set up in a specific and intended order, it's the ideas are sufficiently self-contained that they can be rearranged without much harm to the overall delivery of the material.
