S.S.M. Intermediate Algebra

By Peter Welch

This text presents traditional content of intermediate algebra in a modern context. The focus is on developing both the basic skills and the ability to use these skills to reason and to solve problems. Concepts are presented clearly and are reinforced by numerous carefully graded examples. Functions and graphing appear early (Ch. 3) allowing instructors and students the opportunity to use this powerful tool in subsequent chapters. Similarly, systems of linear equations and inequalities immediately follow other linear topics to give the option of using these systems to solve applied problems throughout the text. Many opportunities are provided to introduce reform-oriented learning activities such as writing mathematics and group learning.
