Review of College Algebra with CD
Editorial review
This college-level algebra textbook is designed to develop critical
thinking skills and prepare students for higher-level math courses.
The approach stresses the concept of function, and uses real-life
applications to motivate problem solving. Topics include all
the basic concepts of college math, such as: equations and inequalities,
the rectangular coordinate system and graphs of equations, functions,
exponential and logarithmic functions, polynomial equations,
linear systems, conic sections and quadratic systems, natural-number
functions and probability, and finance.Book News, Inc.®,
Portland, OR --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable
edition of this title.

Review of The Learning Equation: College Algebra Student Workbook
Editorial review
Designed for learner-focused, computer classroom, lab-based,
and distance learning courses, adopting institutions receive
and have license to install all TLE courses on their campus
computers, even if they only adopt and have students purchase
TLE for one section of one course.The pedagogical model employs
a "Guided Inquiry" approach whereby students construct
their own understanding of concepts. Instead of passively being
fed information, students are actively involved in tasks requiring
them to discover or apply mathematical concepts. The browser-based
course management system that accompanies TLE includes a new
testing system that allows for the easy creation of algorithmically-generated,
machine-graded, free-response mathematics practice, quizzes,
and tests, giving instructors the power to assess student understanding
of skills in a more meaningful way. Because the testing and
course management system is browser-based, it can be used on
a stand alone or networked computer, or any computer with Internet
access, giving instructors the power to access course management
information such as student progress, time-on-task, and grades,
anytime, anywhere. Students working off campus can upload course
management information remotely using the Internet or can save
this information to a floppy disk. In addition, adopting institutions
may use Thomson Learning servers for course management at no
additional cost.
Review of The Learning Equation Online for Intermediate Algebra Lessons
Editorial review
The TLE Online Companion is a 32 page USER'S GUIDE with online
PIN-code access to THE LEARNING EQUATION lessons, bundled with
Tussy/Gustafson's INTERMEDIATE ALGEBRA, SECOND EDITION. Delivered
entirely over the Internet, students can access 15 lessons per
course, hand-picked by Alan Tussy to enhance the presentation
of specific concepts in the course. The TLE ONLINE COMPANION
is adapted from the full version of THE LEARNING EQUATION line
of developmental mathematics courseware products. Designed for
learner-focused, computer classroom, lab-based, and distance
learning courses, the pedagogical model employs a "Guided
Inquiry" approach whereby students construct their own

students are actively involved in tasks requiring them to discover
or apply mathematical concepts. Each lesson has seven interactive
components: Introduction, Tutorial, Examples, Summary, Practice
and Problems, Extra Practice, and Self Check. The interactive
learning content is the perfect compliment to the textbooks,
designed to engage and enrich the student's learning experience
by addressing multiple learning styles.Using the power of the
most comprehensive and powerful course management system available,
student progress is tracked from whatever location they choose
to learn. The auto-enrollment feature via PIN codes, customizable
grade book, world-class test generator for printed and on line
assessments, and outstanding communication tools makes managing
the learning experience fast and easy.

Review of College Algebra Activities for TI-81 Graphing Calculator :
Editorial review
This brief, paperback book teaches calculator techniques that
are relevant to learning college algebra--with little need for
in-class explanations. Step-by-step instructions along with
"Snapshots" of what should be displayed by the calculator
make learning the techniques easy. Professors and students alike
will appreciate the book's use of the graphing calculator as
a learning tool, the easy-to-use numerical analysis programs,
and the problem-solving techniques that go beyond the traditional
linear and quadratic type of word problems.
Review of Thinkwell College Algebra With Edward Burger
Editorial review
A textbook for a numerical methods course for engineering and
science students, emphasizing the application of approximation
techniques to the types of problems that commonly occur in engineering
and the physical sciences. The included disk contains software
programs written in both FORTRAN and Pascal, which permit students
to generate all the results that are included in the examples
and to modify the programs to generate solutions to problems
of their choice. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland,

Review of Essential Algebra
Editorial review
This traditional, straight-forward, extremely popular book helps
students learn algebra concepts by using a one-step, one-concept-at-a-time
approach. All major topics are divided into small sections,
each with its own examples and often with its own exercises--an
approach that helps students master each section before proceeding
to the next one.

I had a BA and was planning to enter a B.S. program after ten
years out of High School. This book was a tremendous help in
refreshing my mathematics skills. The material is presented
clearly and in very understandable language. There are periodic
tests one can take to chart one's progress between chapters,
helpful reviews of terminology and appendices with review of
some fundamentals you may have forgotten as well as a preview
of the sort of math this book would lead into if one continued.
The answers to the exercises are worked out in the back of the
book (the odd numbered questions are shown at length) so that
you can catch mistakes in methodology (and in arithematic).It
is simply impossible to not follow the easy phraseology and
straight-forward teaching techniques. You almost breeze through
the material because it is presented so clearly and in such
easy language. The instruction is explicit with a step-by-step
analysis of the material and a lengthy explanation of how one
goes about solving involved equations. I only wish I had these
authors as my math teachers in high school-I'd have remembered
without difficulty the math skills I need now.
Review of Beginning Algebra
Editorial review
Written with beginning mathematics students in mind, experienced
authors and professors Jordan and Palow take a slightly different
approach to algebra--one that is extensively class tested and
consistent with the AMATYC standards. The authors emphasize
relationships between arithmetic and algebra, helping students
to see how seemingly isolated principles fit together. The order
of topics is thus somewhat different than the order presented
in most texts. For example, rather than presenting all the operations
on integers and later presenting the same operation on polynomials,
this text presents them one after the other. This order reinforces
the operation on integers and gives students an immediate reason
for learning the operation (since they will have to perform
the same operation on polynomials).
Review of Prealgebra
Editorial review
This text was written to help ease the transition from the numerical
skills of arithmetic to the more abstract world of algebra.
The text concentrates on conceptual understanding in place of
rote application of algorithms and encourages students to explore
algebraic concepts in an informal way to build a foundation
for the subsequent formal study of algebra, as recommended in
the NCTM Standards.
