Description
Elementary and Intermediate Algebra, Second Edition, is designed for courses that seek to develop mathematical concepts using primarily numeric, symbolic and verbal approaches. Traditional methods and graphs are used throughout the text and graphing calculator use is completely optional. In keeping with NCTM and AMATYC standards, the text integrates a number of features that develop critical thinking and communication skills.
