MP Basic Mathematical Skills with Geometry (The Streeter Series)

<b><i>Basic Mathematical Skills with Geometry, 7/e by Baratto/Bergman</b></i> is part of the latest offerings in the successful Streeter-Hutchison Series in Mathematics. The seventh edition continues the hallmark approach of encouraging the learning of mathematics by focusing its coverage on <b>mastering math through practice.</b> This worktext seeks to provide carefully detailed explanations and accessible pedagogy to introduce basic mathematical skills and put the <i><b>content in context</b></i>. The authors use a three-pronged approach (I. Communication, II. Pattern Recognition, and III. Problem Solving) to present the material and stimulate critical thinking skills. Items such as <i>Math Anxiety</i> boxes, <i>Check Yourself</i> exercises, and <i>Activities</i> represent this approach and the underlying philosophy of mastering math through practice. The exercise sets have been expanded, organized, and clearly labeled. Vocational and professional-technical exercises have been added throughout. Repeated exposure to this consistent structure should help advance the student’s skills in relating to mathematics. The book is designed for a one-semester basic math course and is appropriate for lecture, learning center, laboratory, or self-paced courses. It is accompanied by numerous useful supplements, including McGraw-Hill’s online homework management system, MathZone.
