The new edition of INTERMEDIATE ALGEBRA, 9e, International Edition is an exciting and innovative revision that takes an already successful text and makes it more compelling for today's instructor and student. The new edition has been thoroughly updated with a new interior design and other pedagogical features that make the text both easier to read and easier to use. Known for its clear writing and an engaging, accessible approach that makes algebra relevant, INTERMEDIATE ALGEBRA, 9e, International Edition helps students to develop problem-solving skills and strategies that they can use in their everyday lives. The new edition welcomes two new co-authors Rosemary Karr and Marilyn Massey who along with David Gustafson have developed a learning plan to help students succeed in Intermediate Algebra and transition to the next level in their coursework.
The authors have developed an acute awareness of students' approach to homework and present a learning plan keyed to new Learning Objectives and supported by a comprehensive range of exercise sets that reinforces the material that students have learned setting the stage for their success.This proven text is mathematically precise and unfailingly accurate. The authors have provided a trusted and reliable teaching and learning solution through successive editions.
The text's renowned "Exercise Sets" give students important opportunities to gauge their understanding and refine their problem-solving skills. These sets include a variety of problem types, including "Application," "Review," "Vocabulary and Concepts," "Guided Practice," "Additional Practice," "Writing About Math," and "Something to Think About."
"Something to Think About" problems transition students from one topic to another, giving them the opportunity to think more deeply about a topic.
Chapter Openers showcase the many career paths available in the world of mathematics and include a brief overview of each career, as well as job outlook, growth and annual earnings potential statistics from the U.S. Department of Labor.
Getting Ready questions appear at the beginning of each section, linking past concepts to the upcoming material
Comment notations alert students to common errors as well as provide helpful information about the concepts they are learning.
Accent on Technology boxes teach students the calculator skills to prepare them for using these tools in science and business classes, as well as for nonacademic purposes.
Examples are worked out in each chapter, highlighting the concept being discussed. "Notes" in many of the text's examples, give students insight into the process adopted when approaching a problem and working toward a solution. Each Example also ends with a Self Check problem, so that students may immediately apply concepts.
Everyday Connections boxes invite students to see how the material is relevant to their lives.
Perspectives highlight important mathematicians and connect students to discoveries of the past and their importance to the present.
Teaching Tips are provided in the margins as interesting historical information, alternate approaches for teaching the material, and class activities.
Chapter-ending Projects encourage in-depth exploration and a review of key concepts.
Chapter Tests allow students to pinpoint their strengths and challenges with the material.
