ABOUT THE BOOK

Algebra: A Combined Approach, 2nd edition, fits both the traditional, one-semester, elementary algebra course, and the one-semester intermediate algebra course but combined into one textbook. The prerequisite is Basic Mathematics, taken in college or in high school. 

Every section has been written so that it can be discussed in a single class session. The clean layout and the authors conversational style make it easy for students to read, and important information such as definitions and properties are highlighted so that they can easily be located and referenced by students.

Find the Mistake

Complete sentences that include common mistakes appear in each exercise set to help students identify errors and aid their comprehension of the concepts presented in that section.
