Elementary and Intermediate Algebra is designed to provide students with the algebra background needed for further college-level mathematics courses. With a strong emphasis on mathematics of the real world, this text combines the gentle pace of elementary algebra with the broad coverage of topics in intermediate algebra, eliminating topic overlap. The extent and sequence of the topics make this text suitable for a wide variety of courses of various lengths. The Midtext Diagnostic Review after Chapter 7 can be used to assess a student's readiness for the second half of the text, and these review exercises are keyed to the first seven chapters. The features, design, and pedagogy are the same as in the successful Third Editions of Mark Dugopolski's Elementary Algebra and Intermediate Algebra. |
