Show students how to apply traditional mathematical skills in real-world contexts with INTERMEDIATE ALGEBRA: CONNECTING CONCEPTS THROUGH APPLICATIONS, 2nd Edition. Concepts become real and vivid as authors Clark and Anfinson draw from real data to show students why and how to apply math. Through conceptual explorations, skill building, and applications, this approach helps students master concepts and develop problem solving and communication skills. The authors integrate algebraic techniques, graphing, the use of data in tables, and writing sentences to communicate solutions to application problems. An emphasis on building strong algebra skills supports applications while completing models by hand helps students focus on the characteristics of each function type. Accompanied by WebAssign, your students will be able to continue their learning experience while completing their online homework. Conceptual questions from the text are included and "WatchIts" with closed-captioning gives students another opportunity to both learn and practice skills and concepts through the power of WebAssign.

"I like the approach that connects math with the ways that students will use it. Real learning combines the abstraction of math, which makes it useful in many situations, with genuine practice figuring out how to apply it to real world contexts. In my mind, this makes this book the best one on the market. There aren't other books like it out there."
"The thing that I like the most about this text is that it is well organized and easy to read for the student. The chapters, sections, examples, homework problems, etc. are well laid out and easy to follow. Also, there are lots of homework problems from which to choose. I never have a problem finding examples that I need."
"The text has good modeling application problems. It has diverse problems: numeric, drill and practice, graph interpretation, and applications."
