Basic College Mathematics


Book Description

This clear, accessible treatment of mathematics features a building-block approach toward problem solving, realistic and diverse applications, and chapter organizer to help users focus their study and become effective and confident problem solvers. The Putting Your Skills to Work and new chapter-end feature, Math in the Media, present readers with opportunities to utilize critical thinking skills, analyze and interpret data, and problem solve using applied situations encountered in daily life. Chapter 7, Geometry, has been extensively revised and re-organized to include a new section 7.1 on angles and new section 7.4 devoted to triangles. Increased coverage of estimating with fractions and decimals with new To Think About exercises in Sections 2.5, 2.8, and 3.3 and a new lesson in Section 3.7. Coverage of fractions in Chapter 2 has been expanded as follows: Section 2.6 now begins with a discussion of least common multiples so that the subsequent coverage of least common denominators is more complete; a new lesson on order of operations in Section 2.8 offers readers additional review of these rules and practice applying them to fractions; and a new mid-chapter test on fractions appears after Section 2.5. Percent applications are now covered in two sections (Sections 5.4 and 5.5) to allow for a more patient presentation of this important topic.

Beginning Algebra


Book Description

John Tobey and Jeff Slater are experienced developmental math authors and activeclassroom teachers. They have carefully crafted their texts to support students in this course by staying with them every step of the way. Tobey and Slater... With you every step of the way. This 6th edtion of Beginning Algebrais appropriate for a 1-semester course in appropriate for a 1-semester course in Introductory, Beginning or Elementary Algebra where a solid foundation in algebraic skills and reasoning is being built for those students who have little or no previous experience with the topice. The utlimate goal of this text is to effectively prepare students to transition to Intermediate Algebra. One of the hallmark characteristics of Beginning Algebra 6ethat makes the text easy to learn from is the building-block organization. Each section is written to stand on its own, and each homework set is completely self-testing. Beginning Algebra 6eis a worktext, meaning the design is open and friendly with wide margins so can you can encourage your students to take notes and work exercises right on the text page. Also with worktexts, images/visuals are used more frequently to convey the math concept so there are fewer words and less text for the student to read. A Brief Review of Arithmetic Skills; Real Numbers and Variables; Equations and Inequalities; Solving Applied Problems; Exponents and Polynomials; Organizer; Factoring; Rational Expressions and Equations; Graphing and Functions; Systems of Equations; Radicals; Quadratic Equations For all readers interested in algebra.
