Intermediate Algebra

More about the book

This new edition aims to bridge the student's first experience manipulating algebraic expressions to the more abstract skills they will develop in later courses. Students begin with a review of topics from elementary algebra. Inequalities take on a greater role and complex numbers are introduced. After the review and extension of the quadratic equation, the course takes on a more abstract and graphing direction, dealing with two variables, relations and functions and systems of equations and inequalities.
