This text has been written for elementary algebra courses. Careful attention to detail, strong exercise sets and pedagogical features help students to understand the concepts of elementary algebra.

Elementary Algebra is a work text that covers the traditional topics studied in a modern elementary algebra course. It is intended for students who: 1. Have no exposure to elementary algebra, 2. Have had a previously unpleasant experience with elementary algebra, or 3. Need to review algebraic concepts and techniques. Use of this book will help the student develop the insight and intuition necessary to master algebraic techniques and manipulative skills. The text is written to promote problem-solving ability so that the student has the maximum opportunity to see that the concepts and techniques are logically based and to be comfortable enough with these concepts to know when and how to use them in subsequent sections, courses, and non-classroom situations. Intuition and understanding are some of the keys to creativity; we believe that the material presented will help make these keys available to the student. This text can be used in standard lecture or self-paced classes.

For courses in Beginning & Intermediate Algebra This package includes MyMathLab(R). Understanding Algebra Through many successful editions, the Angel team has developed a text that students can read, understand, and enjoy. They've done this by pairing clear explanations (in short sentences!) with detailed examples and thorough exercise sets. This Media Update to the 4th edition of Elementary & Intermediate Algebra provides the same great pedagogy from the Angel team, but with expanded and updated resources to give your students even more tools to understand algebra. This program provides a better teaching and learning experience for you and your students. Here's how: MyMathLab improves results with a new video lecture series and a new downloadable Student Workbook that can be packaged with the text and/or the MyMathLab code. Carefully crafted exercise sets give students the practice they need to build understanding. Clear, visual presentation gives students content in a readable, easy-to-understand format. Personalize learning with MyMathLab MyMathLab is an online homework, tutorial, and assessment program designed to work with this text to engage students and improve results. Within its structured environment, students practice what they learn, test their understanding, and engage with media resources to help them absorb course material and understand difficult concepts.

The Angel Series continues to offer proven pedagogy, sound exercise sets and superior user support.
