Synopsis

Intended for an intermediate algebra course offered at both two- and four-year schools. INTERMEDIATE ALGEBRA: STRUCTURE AND USE is for those students who have only had an elementary algebra course or for those students who need a review of intermediate before proceeding further in mathematics. New, accessible four-color design and an expanded graphics program make the book more visually appealing and reinforce critical concepts. Student success and anxiety reduction are achieved through a non-threatening, informal writing style and the use of numerous pedagogical aids (e.g. examples with "matched problems," annotations, think boxes, new chapter summaries, and cumulative reviews). Written for students with differing backgrounds and abilities, this text enables an average or below-average student to experience success and an above-average student to be challenged. There are 8,100 graded problems which range from easy and routine to challenging and conceptual. The inclusion of a large quantity and variety of significant and interesting real-world applications should convince even the most skeptical students that algebra can be extremely useful.
