Product Description: Although extensively revised, this new edition continues in the fine tradition of its predecessor. Major changes include: a notation that formalizes the distinction between equality and congruence and between line, ray and line segment; a completely rewritten chapter on mathematical logic with inclusion of truth tables and the logical basis for the discovery of non-Euclidean geometries; expanded coverage of analytic geometry with more theorems discussed and proved with coordinate geometry; two distinct chapters on parallel lines and parallelograms; a condensed chapter on numerical trigonometry; more problems; expansion of the section on surface areas and volume; and additional review exercises at the end of each chapter...read more

Authors Gustafson and Frisk present simple arithmetic, geometry, and algebra concepts in a way that vividly shows how the language of numbers plays an integral role in day-to-day life. Because Essential Mathematics with Geometry is more comprehensive than most workbooks and reaches up into the topics of intermediate algebra, it provides the prerequisite background for either a college algebra or a finite mathematics course. Effective in both the classroom and the laboratory, this is one book that contains numerous features that help bring mathematics down to earth.

The Student Solutions Manual provides worked solutions to the odd-numbered problems. The built in Study Guide provides helpful problem-solving exercises.

Product Description: This book should be of interest to degree and diploma students taking courses in trigonometry.

Product Description: This revision offers an introduction to college algebra and trigonometry. The emphasis is on an angle-in standard position introduction to trigonometric functions, with emphasis on right-angle applications. The fourth edition contains new emphasis on both scientific and graphing calculators...read more

Product Description: Book by Gustafson, R. David

Product Description: The Student Solutions Manual provides worked-out solutions to the odd-numbered problems in the textbook.

Product Description: This comprehensive book from Dave Gustafson is perfect for a one-semester course where early coverage of graphing and functions is used to explore the mathematics and applications. All the topics generally found in a one-semester intermediate algebra course are here, but with a modern twist: Gustafson emphasizes conceptual understanding, early treatment of graphing, problem solving, and use of technology (graphing calculators)...read more

Tried and true, Gustafson and Frisk's BEGINNING AND INTERMEDIATE ALGEBRA teaches solid mathematical skills while supporting the student with careful pedagogy. This text helps students develop the ability to synthesize and conceptualize material by thoroughly integrating coverage of graphing and problem solving without sacrificing manipulative skills. Each book in this series maintains the authors' proven style through clear, no-nonsense explanations, as well as the mathematical accuracy and rigor that only Gustafson and Frisk can deliver. The text's clearly useful applications emphasize problem solving to effectively develop the skills students need for future mathematics courses, such as college algebra, and for real life. BEGINNING AND INTERMEDIATE ALGEBRA is the ideal text for professors who want to eliminate the significant overlap of topics found in separate beginning and intermediate algebra texts. The Seventh Edition of BEGINNING AND INTERMEDIATE ALGEBRA also features a robust suite of online course management, testing, and tutorial resources for instructors and students. This includes BCA/iLrn Testing and Tutorial, vMentor live online tutoring, the Interactive Video Skillbuilder CD-ROM with MathCue, a Book Companion Web Site featuring online graphing calculator resources, and The Learning Equation (TLE), powered by BCA/iLrn. TLE provides a complete courseware package, featuring a diagnostic tool that gives instructors the capability to create individualized study plans. With TLE, a cohesive, focused study plan can be put together to help each student succeed in math.

Product Description: Includes complete solutions to all odd-numbered exercises in the text.

Product Description: 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 text, the introduction of coordinate graphing appears early, in Chapter 3...read more

Product Description: This book 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...read more

Product Description: 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...read more

Product Description: A true balance of traditional and reform instructional approaches constantly reinforces the major concepts of algebra throughout the text. The early introduction of fundamental algebraic concepts through numerous interactive examples and a wide variety of exercises show students how to translate English phrases to mathematical symbols...read more
