Description

For courses in Beginning & Intermediate Algebra.

Understanding and applying mathematical concepts

Elementary and Intermediate Algebra: Concepts and Applications, 7th Edition prepares students for the transition from skills-oriented elementary algebra courses to more concept-oriented college-level mathematics courses. This requires the development of critical-thinking skills: to reason mathematically, to communicate mathematically, and to identify and solve mathematical problems. New material, developed from the authors’ experience in the classroom as well as faculty and student insights, includes more systematic review and preparation for practice and a stronger focus on real-world applications.
