For courses in Intermediate and College Algebra. Intermediate through College Algebra: A Streamlined Experience College Algebra with Intermediate Algebra: A Blended Course is an innovative new program from the Beecher et al. author team. Designed to meet your changing needs in Intermediate Algebra and College Algebra courses, this program eliminates the repetition in topic coverage across the traditional, two-course sequence. The result is a streamlined course experience that makes better use of time and resources. The careful arrangement of topics--one building on the next without redundancy--motivates and creates a solid foundation of knowledge. This new, streamlined approach to these courses is complemented by the authors' innovative ability to help you "see the math" through their focus on visualization, early introduction to functions and graphing, and making connections between math concepts and the real world. Also Available with MyMathLab (R) . MyMathLab is an online homework, tutorial, and assessment program designed to work with this text to engage you and improve results. Within its structured environment, you are able to practice what you learn, test your understanding, and pursue a personalized study plan that helps your absorb course material and understand difficult concepts. With this edition, the authors focused on developing MyMathLab features that help you prepare better and get you thinking more visually and conceptually.

This is the eBook of the printed book and may not include any media, website access codes, or print supplements that may come packaged with the bound book. The Rockswold/Krieger algebra series fosters conceptual understanding by using relevant applications and visualization to show students why math matters. It answers the common question “When will I ever use this?” Rockswold teaches students the math in context, rather than including the applications at the end of the presentation. By seamlessly integrating meaningful applications that include real data and supporting visuals (graphs, tables, charts, colors, and diagrams), students are able to see how math impacts their lives as they learn the concepts. The authors believe this approach deepens conceptual understanding and better prepares students for future math courses and life.

Essentials of College Algebra by Lial, Hornsby, and Schneider, gives readers a solid foundation in the basic functions of college algebra and their graphs, starting with a strong review of intermediate algebra concepts and ending with an introduction to systems and matrices. This brief version of the College Algebra, Tenth Edition has been specifically designed to provide a more compact and less expensive book for courses that do not include the more advanced topics covered in the longer book. Focused on helping readers develop both the conceptual understanding and the analytical skills necessary to experience success in mathematics, the authors present each mathematical topic in this text using a carefully developed learning system to actively engage students in the learning process. The book addresses the diverse needs of today's students through a clear design, current figures and graphs, helpful features, careful explanations of topics, and a comprehensive package of available supplements and study aids.

Linear algebra is relatively easy for students during the early stages of the course, when the material is presented in a familiar, concrete setting. But when abstract concepts are introduced, students often hit a brick wall. Instructors seem to agree that certain concepts (such as linear independence, spanning, subspace, vector space, and linear transformations), are not easily understood, and require time to assimilate. Since they are fundamental to the study of linear algebra, students' understanding of these concepts is vital to their mastery of the subject. David Lay introduces these concepts early in a familiar, concrete Rn setting, develops them gradually, and returns to them again and again throughout the text so that when discussed in the abstract, these concepts are more accessible.

The Sullivan/Struve/Mazzarella Algebra program is designed to motivate students to “do the math”– at home or in the lab–and supports a variety of learning environments. The text is known for its two-column example format that provides annotations to the left of the algebra. These annotations explain what the authors are about to do in each step (instead of what was just done), just as an instructor would do.
