Prealgebra Third Edition

Designed to help students in one-semester prealgebra courses make the transition from the concrete world of arithmetic to the symbolic world of algebra, Prealgebra, 3/e, introduces variables in Chapter 1 and integrates them throughout the rest of the text. The acclaimed Aufmann Interactive Method ensures active learning and mastery of concepts—ideal for any classroom, self-paced laboratory, or even distance learning setting. A strong emphasis on the AMATYC standards features a special focus on real sourced data as well as an algorithmic computer tutor.

• Projects in Mathematics activities feature applications in such fields as music, the stock market, sports, consumer trends, and nutrition.
• Data problems have been updated to reflect current data and trends and offer engaging topics for class discussions.
• A two-page Chapter Test at the end of each chapter provides opportunities for students to test their understanding and diagnose their weaknesses.
