Intermediate Algebra is designed to provide your students with the algebra background needed for further college-level mathematics courses. The unifying theme of this text is the development of the skills necessary for solving equations and inequalities, followed by the application of those skills to solving applied problems. The primary goal in writing the third edition of Intermediate Algebra has been to retain the features that made the second edition so successful, while incorporating the comments and suggestions of second-edition users. Many new features have been provided that will help instructors reach the goals that they have set for their students. As always, the author endeavors to write texts that students can read, understand, and enjoy, while gaining confidence in their ability to use mathematics.
This book is in great condition, it arrived on time, and was WAY cheaper than the campus book store.
Great Math book!

I found this book at a local bookstore which I bought for extra help in my math course. In less than two weeks of purchasing, I was just showing up to class for attendance purposes. I learned much more from this book than lecture. The lowest grade I made on one of my tests was an 80! The steps to solving problems are clearly written. The exercises start easy to moderate difficulty before challenging to use what you've just learned. I would rate this book five stars but on some topics it can be a little sketchy and leave you scratching your head about what to do next. However, I will continue to purchase any of Dugopolski's books as they are well-written. I already own two for leisure! Also, buy the newer editions of Dugopolski's books. The format for the exercises and explaining the work is different. Editions made in 2000 (year) and after are good.
