Learn math the easy way with INTERMEDIATE ALGEBRA! Study sets at the end of every chapter will improve your ability to read, write, and communicate mathematical ideas. Difficult concepts are made clear with a five-step approach to problem-solving: analyze the problem, form an equation, solve the equation, state the result, and check the solution. Prepare for exams with numerous resources located online and throughout the text such as live online tutoring, tutorials, a book companion website, chapter summaries, self-checks, practice sections, and reviews. Take advantage of the accompanying Video Skillbuilder CD-ROM that will save you class preparation time through video lessons, web quizzes, and chapter tests.

Algebra can be like a foreign language. But one text delivers an interpretation you can fully understand. Building a conceptual foundation in the "language of algebra," iNTERMEDIATE ALGEBRA, 4e provides an integrated learning process that helps you expand your reasoning abilities as it teaches you how to read, write, and think mathematically. Packed with real-life applications of math, it blends instructional approaches that include vocabulary, practice, and well-defined pedagogy with an emphasis on reasoning, modeling, communication, and technology skills. The authors' five-step problem-solving approach makes learning easy. With INTERMEDIATE ALGEBRA, 4e, algebra makes sense!

When asked to describe his philosophy and approach, Alan Tussy responded: "In writing Intermediate Algebra, our goal was to develop a 'new generation' mathematics textbook targeted for today's algebra student. Our book is, at its heart, an interactive 'learning system.'" It has been designed to present the material, reinforce major concepts, and test student understanding using a variety of instructional methods and features." The authors had seven objectives in writing this text: 1.) To teach students the language of algebra-how to read, write, speak, and think mathematically (Graphics, examples, and Study Sets throughout text emphasize key phrase and translation); 2.) To use a group of fundamental algebraic concepts as the foundation of the text (Introduce equations, variables, problem solving, functions, and graphing in Ch. 1) and constantly reinforce those major concepts of algebra throughout the text (Key Concept feature); 3.) To aid student comprehension and confidence by introducing concepts in one context and revisiting throughout the book in other contexts (Coverage of problem solving is one good example); 4.) To gain and keep students attention through creative applications (See any Applications section in Study Sets), an interactive approach to instruction (Self Checks), and a visually appealing design; 5.) To have top-notch problem sets (purposefully named Study Sets not Problem or Exercise Sets) that break learning into smaller pieces so that students do not become overwhelmed; 6.) To constantly show how the material being studied can be used to solve real-world problems; 7.) To blend traditional and reform instructional approaches-from vocabulary, practice, and well-defined pedagogy to an emphasis on problem solving, reasoning, communicating, and technology (Study Sets).

Intermediate Algebra

Tussy and Gustafson's fully integrated learning process is designed to expand students' reasoning abilities and teach them how to read, write, and think mathematically. In this 2nd edition, the concept of function is introduced in Chapter 2 and is stressed throughout the text. Students learn to use function notation, graph functions, and write functions that mathematically model many interesting real-life situations. The authors build the strong mathematical foundation necessary to give students confidence to apply their newly acquired skills in further mathematics courses, at home or on the job.
