| Publisher Description: The Rockswold/Krieger algebra series fosters conceptual understanding by using relevant applications and visualization to show students why math matters. It answers the common question "When will I ever use this?" Rockswold teaches students the math in context, rather than including the applications at the end of the presentation. By seamlessly integrating meaningful applications that include real data and supporting visuals (graphs, tables, charts, colors, and diagrams), students are able to see how math impacts their lives as they learn the concepts. The authors believe this approach deepens conceptual understanding and better prepares students for future math courses and life. KEY TOPICS: Introduction to Algebra, Linear Equations and Inequalities, Graphing Equations, Systems of Linear Equations In Two Variables, Polynomials and Exponents, Factoring Polynomials and Solving Equations, Rational Expressions, Radical Expressions, Quadratic Equations MARKET: For all readers interested in beginning algebra. |
