Intermediate Algebra: Graphs and Functions, Third Edition
<p>Designed for first-year developmental students who need support in intermediate algebra, the Fourth Edition of <i>Intermediate Algebra</i> retains the hallmark features for which the Larson team is known: abundant, high-quality applications; the use of real data; the integration of visualization (figures and graphs) throughout; and extensive opportunities for self-assessment (mid-chapter quizzes, review exercises, tests, and cumulative tests). In developing supportive features for the Fourth Edition, the authors' goal is for students to come away from the class with a firm understanding of algebra and how it functions as a modern modeling language.</p><ul><li><i>What You Should Learn</i> orients students to each section by listing the main objectives.<li><i>Why You Should Learn It</i> provides a motivational explanation for learning the given objectives.<li><i>What Did You Learn?</i> following each chapter highlights key mathematical terms and concepts. For easy reference, <i>Key Terms</i> are correlated to the chapter by page number, while <i>Key Concepts</i> are correlated by section number.<li><i>Integrated Review Exercises</i> appear before section exercises in every section. They offer a review of skills, definitions, and problem solving from previous chapters. <li>Eduspace, powered by Blackboard, for the Larson/Hostetler <i>Intermediate Algebra</i> course features algorithmic exercises, test bank content in question pools, an online study guide, interactive tutorials for appropriate sections and video explanations.</ul>
