Intermediate through College Algebra: A Streamlined Experience
College Algebra with Intermediate Algebra: A Blended Course is an innovative new program from the Beecher et al. author team. Designed to meet the changing needs of today’s students and instructors in Intermediate Algebra and College Algebra courses, this program eliminates the repetition in topic coverage across the traditional, two-course sequence. The result is a streamlined course experience that makes better use of students’ (and instructors’) time and resources. The careful arrangement of topics–one building on the next without redundancy–motivates students and creates a solid foundation of knowledge. This new, streamlined approach to these courses is complemented by the authors’ innovative ability to help students see the math through their focus on visualization, early introduction to functions and graphing, and making connections between math concepts and the real world.

Personalize learning with MyMathLab. MyMathLab is an online homework, tutorial, and assessment program designed to work with this text to engage students and improve results. Within its structured environment, students practice what they learn, test their understanding, and pursue a personalized study plan that helps them absorb course material and understand difficult concepts. With this edition, the authors focused on developing MyMathLab features that help better prepare students and get them thinking more visually and conceptually.
