Intermediate Algebra for College Students (The Prindle, Weber & Schmidt Series in Mathematics)

In this new edition, the basic concepts of intermediate algebra are presented in a straightforward and simple manner. It has been written for college students who need an algebra course that bridges the gap between elementary algebra and the more advanced courses in precalculus mathematics. Concepts have been expanded and some concepts added to give students a broader understanding of the subject. It continues with the author's unique approach of immediately applying newly-learned skills viz. "learn a skill, use the skill to help solve equations, use equations to solve word problems." This book should be of interest to students taking an intermediate algebra course.
