Beginning and Intermediate Algebra: An Integrated Approach

BEGINNING AND INTERMEDIATE ALGEBRA is the ideal text for professors who want to eliminate the significant overlap of topics found in separate beginning and intermediate algebra texts. Featuring an early introduction to functions, this text helps students develop the ability to synthesize and conceptualize material by thoroughly integrating coverage of graphing and problem solving without sacrificing manipulative skills. Students appreciate the non-technical writing and the authors' notes in worked examples while instructors appreciate the realistic applications, mathematical accuracy, and the flexibility Gustafson affords.
