Understanding and applying concepts

Elementary & Intermediate Algebra: Concepts & Applications prepares students to transition from skills-based math to the more concept-oriented math they'll need for college courses. The authors' approach fosters the critical-thinking skills needed to achieve this: the ability to reason mathematically, communicate mathematically, and identify/solve mathematical problems.

The 8th Edition features carefully reviewed and revised exposition, examples and exercises. Abundant new features include more resources for review and preparation, while maintaining the strong emphasis on critical thinking and making connections between concepts.
