This book is designed to give students the algebra background needed for further college-level mathematics courses. The unifying theme of the text is the development of the skills needed for solving equations and inequalities, followed by the application of those skills to solving applied problems. The primary goal in writing this edition has been to retain the features that made the second edition so successful, while incorporating the comments and suggestions of its users. As always, the author tries to write texts that students can read, understand and enjoy, while gaining confidence in their ability to use mathematics. While the essence of the text remains, the topics have been rearranged to reflect the current needs of instructors and students. - The emphasis is on applications that are based on data from real-world situations. Also, infusion of graphs, charts and tables will help students to hone graphical interpretation skills. - Many students who struggle with mathematics are confused by the terminology. Enriching Your Mathematical Word Power, a multiple choice activity, helps students to strengthen their command of mathematical language. - Good study habits are fostered through Study Tips. Mathematical insights are revealed through Helpful Hints.
