Review of Intermediate Algebra: Concepts and Graphs
Editorial review
This text, written by best-selling developmental mathematics
author Pat McKeague, features a more streamlined review of elementary
algebra, allowing for earlier coverage of intermediate topics.
An early introduction to graphing presents the foundation for
a wide variety of graphing problems throughout the text. Early
coverage of functions helps students feel comfortable with the
many examples and graphs of functions that occur in later chapters.
Optional technology sections are integrated throughout the text,
as a way for students to better understand the material being
discussed. INTERMEDIATE ALGEBRA: CONCEPTS AND GRAPHS, 4/e is
ideal for professors who want a condensed review of elementary
algebra, and more time to spend on new topics. The new DIGITAL
VIDEO COMPANION student CD-ROM, packaged with the text, offers
an excellent tutorial featuring the author.
Review of Fundamentals of Algebraic Modeling
Editorial review
This text is for students in a two-year Associate in Arts curriculum
who are not planning additional course work in mathematics.
Material is written in accessible language for students who
have been previously intimidated by mathematics. Problems in
graphical, numerical, and symbolic formats are included, as
well as laboratory exercises and calculator mini-lessons, with
answers provided for all problems. A background in fundamental
algebra is assumed. This third edition eliminates some elementary
algebra background material. Timmons is department head and

Review of Intermediate Algebra: Applications and Problem Solving
Editorial review
Author David Weltman's fourth edition of Intermediate Algebra
offers students complete coverage of topics such as Linear Equations
and Inequalities, Exponential and Radical Expressions, Relations
and Functions and many more. This challenging algebra text requires
students to comprehend information presented by providing over
7,000 problems for students to complete. Intermediate Algebra
also assists students in associating the fundamental topics
of algebra with real world data through its featured "internet
connections" and encourages class participation and involvement
through "group activities."

I studied this book, and it was fantastic! When I picked this
book up, it had been awhile since I'd taken a math class. I
was going back to college, and I didn't want to have to take
Algebra all over again, so I reviewed Algebra extensively, using
this book. When I took Precalculus classes, I encountered subject
matter from time to time that I hadn't seen for quite awhile.
Often, my recollection of such material was shaky, so I'd review
it in this book again, and get back up to speed. I got an A
in both classes.
Review of Beginning Algebra (3rd Edition)
Editorial review
Author David Weltman's third edition of Beginning Algebra offers
students complete coverage of topics such as the real number
system and its properties, factoring polynomials, exponents,
and many more. This challenging algebra text requires students
to comprehend information presented by providing over 7,000
problems for students to complete. Beginning Algebra also assists
students in associating the fundamental topics of algebra with
real world data by its featured "internet connections"
and encourages class participation and involvement through "group
activities."

Reviewed by a reader, from ca USA
i find that this book does a good job to helpteh students learn
algebra, as well as aplicatoin to realy life through the varios
word questions which reffer to real life situations. i find
this book beyond satisfactory for learning math, and helps the
students to be prepared for the SAT test.
Review of Elementary Algebra: Structure and Use
Editorial review
This text is intended for a beginning or elementary algebra
course offered at both two- and four-year schools. Elementary
Algebra Structure and Use is an introductory text for students
with either no background in algebra or for those students who
need review before proceeding further. New accessible four-color
design and an expanded graphics program make the book more visually
appealing and reinforce critical concepts. Student success and
anxiety reduction are achieved through a non-threatening, informal
writing style and the use of numerous pedagogical aids (e.g.,
examples with "matched problems," annotations, think
boxes, new chapter summaries, and cumulative reviews). The text
is designed to smooth the transition from arithmetic to algebra
by gradually developing algebraic concepts, manipulations, and
applications. There are 6,400 graded problems which range from
easy and routine to challenging and conceptual. The inclusion
of a large quantity and variety of significant and interesting
real-world applications should convince even the most skeptical
students that algebra can be extremely useful.
Review of College Algebra: A Graphing Approach
Editorial review
Mathematical reform is the driving force behind the organization
and development of this new college algebra text. The use of
technology, primarily graphing utilities, is assumed throughout
the text. The development of each topic proceeds from the concrete
to the abstract and takes full advantage of technology, wherever
appropriate. The first major objective of this book is to encourage
students to investigate mathematical ideas and processes graphically
and numerically, as well as algebraically. Proceeding in this
way, students gain a broader, deeper, and more useful understanding
of a concept or process. Even though concept development and
technology are emphasized, manipulative skills are not ignored,
and plenty of opportunities to practice basic skills are present.
A brief look at the table of contents will reveal the importance
of the function concept as a unifying theme. The second major
objective of this book is the development of a library of elementary
functions, including their important properties and uses. Having
this library of elementary functions as a basic working tool
in their mathematical tool boxes, students will be able to move
into calculus with greater confidence and understanding. In
addition, a concise review of basic algebraic concepts is included
in Appendix A for easy reference, or systematic review. The
third major objective of this book is to give the student substantial
experience in solving and modeling real world problems. Enough
applications are included to convince even the most skeptical
student that mathematics is really useful. Most of the applications
are simplified versions of actual real-world problems taken
from professional journals and professional books. No specialized
experience is required to solve any of the applications.
Review of Intermediate Algebra
Editorial review
Designed for a one-semester intermediate algebra course, this
successful worktext is appropriate for lecture, learning center,
laboratory, or self-paced courses.Maintaining its hallmark features
of carefully detailed explanations and accessible pedagogy,
this edition also addresses the AMATYC and NCTM Standards. In
addition to the changes incorporated into the text, a new integrated
video series and multimedia tutorial program are also available.
