For courses in Beginning & Intermediate Algebra This package includes MyMathLab(R). Understanding Algebra Through many successful editions, the Angel team has developed a text that students can read, understand, and enjoy. They've done this by pairing clear explanations (in short sentences!) with detailed examples and thorough exercise sets. This Media Update to the 4th edition of Elementary & Intermediate Algebra provides the same great pedagogy from the Angel team, but with expanded and updated resources to give your students even more tools to understand algebra. This program provides a better teaching and learning experience for you and your students. Here's how: MyMathLab improves results with a new video lecture series and a new downloadable Student Workbook that can be packaged with the text and/or the MyMathLab code. Carefully crafted exercise sets give students the practice they need to build understanding. Clear, visual presentation gives students content in a readable, easy-to-understand format. 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 engage with media resources to help them absorb course material and understand difficult concepts.

by Donald J. Albers ix INTRODUCTION In July of 1984 the first national conference on mathematics education in two-year colleges was held at Menlo College. The conference was funded by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation. Two-year colleges account for more than one-third of all undergraduate enrollments in mathematics, and more than one-half of all college freshmen are enrolled in two-year colleges. These two facts alone suggest the importance of mathematics education in two-year colleges, particularly to secondary schools, four-year colleges, and universities. For a variety of reasons, four-year colleges and universities are relatively unaware of two-year colleges. Arthur Cohen, who was a participant at the "New Directions" conference warns: "Four-year colleges and universities ignore two-year colleges at their own peril." Ross Taylor, another conference participant, encouraged two-year college faculty to be ever mindful of their main source of students--secondary schools- and to work hard to strengthen their ties with them. There are many other reasons why it was important to examine two-year college mathematics from a national perspective: 1. Over the last quarter century, rio other sector of higher education has grown so rapidly as have two-year colleges. Their enrollments tripled in the 60's, doubled in the 70's, and continue to increase rapidly in the 80's. x 2. Twenty-five years ago, two-year colleges accounted for only one-seventh of all undergraduate mathematics enrollments; today the fraction is more than one-third.
