Synopsis

The Fifth Edition of Beginning Algebra emphasizes learning mathematics through graphing to increase the emphasis on problem solving through a variety of realistic applications, and to include more geometric content - all reflecting the authors' move toward a more balanced approach. The authors continue to emphasize topics in geometry and their applications throughout the text, particularly the concepts of perimeter, area, and volume.
