Aimed at students with little or no background in algebra, this introductory text is designed to smooth the transition from arithmetic to algebra by gradually developing algebraic concepts, manipulations, and applications. It offers 6400 graded problems, from routine to more challanging. Its main features include: an expanded graphics programme; use of numerous pedagogical aids, such as "matched problems", annotation, think boxes, chapter summaries, cumulative reviews; and expanded chapter reviews summarizing all the main material in each chapter section-by-section; and chapter tests with cumulative review exercise.
