Book Description

Applied College Algebra is designed to provide students with a solid mathematical foundation enhanced by motivating and relevant applications. The interactive presentation of concepts supports students with a variety of learning styles and provides a comfortable transition to more advanced mathematics for all students, especially those coming from developmental courses. Chapter Prep Quizzes at the start of each chapter help students assess their prerequisite knowledge. Each question includes a section reference that students can use to get additional support and view related examples. Problem Solving Strategies to guide students in developing problem-solving skills appear at the start of each chapter. Clear Examples paired with Check Your Progress Questions are hallmark features of the Aufmann Interactive Method. After a worked-out example is presented, a similar Check Your Progress exercise helps students practice the concept. Full Solutions to Check Your Progress Questions appear in an appendix. The complete solution not only provides students full support in understanding new material, but serves as an additional example to students reviewing material for a test or quiz.
