Book by Aufmann, Richard N.

The Third Edition of Algebra: Introductory and Intermediate provides mathematically sound and comprehensive coverage of the topics considered essential in a combined introductory and intermediate algebra course. The text also includes new prep tests, updated applications, and a new design. Furthermore, the Instructor's Annotated Edition features a comprehensive selection of new instructor support material. The class-tested Aufmann Interactive Method, incorporated throughout the text, ensures that students interact with the math and master the concepts presented. This model is especially supportive for distance-learning and self-paced laboratory situations.The IAE, rich with new instructor support materials, features reduced student pages with support material in the margins. (Answers to exercises and transparency icons appear on the reduced student page.) Features include Instructor Notes; tips for introducing new or recycled vocabulary, symbols, formulas, rules, properties or equations; Discuss the Concepts prompts; Concept Check questions; Optional Student Activities; In-Class Examples to present with every objective; Suggested Assignments; Quick Quiz; and Answers to selected Writing Exercises, Focus on Problem Solving activities, and Projects and Group Activities.AIM for Success, a special preface for students, guides them in how to be successful using the text and the Aufmann Interactive Method (AIM). Suggestions for using the Preface as a lesson are featured in the Instructor's Resource Manual. Eduspace, powered by Blackboard, for the Aufmann/Barker/Lockwood Algebra: Introductory and Intermediate course includes algorithmic exercises, an online Study Guide and test bank content in question pools.

Description Prealgebra, 4/e, helps students make the transition from the concrete world of arithmetic to the symbolic world of algebra. The Aufmann team achieves this by introducing variables in Chapter 1 and integrating them throughout the rest of the text. This text's single greatest strength is the Aufmann Interactive Method, which enables students to work with the math concepts as they're being introduced. In addition, the text strongly emphasizes the AMATYC standards, with a special focus on real-sourced data. New! Eduspace is Houghton Mifflin's online learning tool. Powered by Blackboard, Eduspace is a customizable, powerful and interactive platform that provides instructors with text-specific online courses and content. The Aufmann/Barker/Lockwood Prealgebra course features algorithmic exercises, test bank content in question pools, an online study guide, interactive tutorials for appropriate sections and video explanations.

The Fourth Edition of College Algebra helps students see the dynamic link between concepts and applications. The authors' hallmark approach, the Aufmann Interactive Method, encourages students to interact with math by presenting an annotated example, then guiding students with a Try Exercise, and finally presenting a worked-out solution for immediate reinforcement of the concept.An Instructor's Annotated Edition, unlike any other offered for this course, features reduced student text pages with special instructor resources in the margins: teaching tips, extra examples, ideas for reinforcing concepts, discussion suggestions, highlighted vocabulary and symbols, challenge problems, quizzes, suggested assignments, and references to transparencies that may be found both in the Instructor's Resource Manual and on the web site.Side-by-Side Solutions to examples pair an algebraic solution and a graphical representation to accommodate different learning styles.Integrated web resources include selected Take Note boxes (identified by a special web icon) which direct students to an interactive example or a downloadable file on the web site.Exploring Concepts with Technology, a special end-of-chapter feature, expands on ideas introduced in the text by using technology to investigate extended mathematical applications or topics.Projects at the end of each exercise set are designed to encourage students (or groups of students) to research and write about mathematics and its applications. Additional Projects are included in the Instructor's Resource Manual and on the book's web site.Take Note and Math Matters (formerly called Point of Interest) margin notes alert students about interesting aspects of math history, applications, and points that require special attention.

Product Description: This text from the author team of Aufmann and Nation offers the same engaging style and support for students as the Aufmann College Algebra series, all in a brief format that covers the entire course in a single semester.

Product Description: Proven, class-tested content from two best-selling texts is now available in one convenient, cost-saving volume. Prealgebra and Introductory Algebra guides students to success by offering a single, consistent voice and format for the two-term developmental mathematics sequence.

As a best-selling text for developmental first-year algebra courses, Introductory Algebra: An Applied Approach, Sixth Edition, continues to provide mathematically sound and comprehensive coverage of key topics. The Aufmann Interactive Method ensures that students master concepts by actively practicing them as they are introduced. This approach is ideal for traditional and returning students in both classroom and distance-learning environments.The Sixth Edition features new discussion of parallel lines in Chapter 7. Discussion of solutions of systems of equations in Chapter 8 has been expanded and enhanced to promote greater understanding of dependent, inconsistent, and independent systems of equations. Simplification of square roots in Chapter 10 is now presented using perfect squares. New concept-based writing exercises encourage students to verbalize—and understand—concepts and new developmental exercises in many exercise sets further reinforce concepts and skills.The Aufmann Interactive Method helps students learn and understand math concepts by doing the math. Every objective contains one or more sets of matched-pair examples. Students first walk through a worked-out example and then solve a similar "You Try It" example. Complete solutions to these examples are available in an appendix.An Integrated Learning System organized by objectives helps students understand what they're learning and why as they apply new concepts throughout the chapter.Each chapter begins with a list of goals that form the framework for a complete learning system. These objectives are woven throughout the text, in Exercises, Chapter Tests, Cumulative Reviews, as well as the print and multimedia ancillaries.An Instructor's Annotated Edition provides reduced pages from the Student Edition to leave space for the following features: Instructor Notes; In-Class Examples; Concept Checks; Discuss the Concepts; Special presentation of new Vocabulary/ Symbols/Formulas/Rules/Properties/Equations; Special review of these same features; Optional Student Activities; Quick Quizzes; Answers to Writing Exercises; Suggested Assignments; and Answers to all exercises.AIM for Success, a special student preface, offers techniques and support for student success.Prep Tests at the beginning of each chapter assess students' prerequisite skills. Students may check answers in an appendix, which refers them back to aprevious objective for review, if necessary.Go Figure challenge problems follow the Prep Test to engage students in problem solving.Updated data problems, designed to show students the relevance of mathematics across the disciplines and in daily life, reflect current data and trends.Additional and revised Projects and Group Activities enable students to see the connections between abstract concepts and real-life situations.Strong emphasis on applications demonstrates the value of mathematics as a real-life tool. Chapter openers have been updated with new photos and captions illustrating a specific application from the chapter.Focus on Problem Solving features and active learning strengthen problem-solving skills.Unlike most textbooks, this series simultaneously introduces verbal phrases for mathematical operations and the operations themselves. Exercises then prompt students to make a connection between a phrase and a mathematical process.
