Summary

Geared toward helping students visualize and apply mathematics, Intermediate Algebra: Graphs and Models, Second Edition uses illustrations, graphs, and graphing technology to enhance students' mathematical skills. This is accomplished throughInteractive Discoveries, Algebraic-Graphical Side-by-Sides and the incorporation of real-data applications. In addition, students are taught problem-solving skills using the Bittinger hallmark five-step problem-solving process coupled with new Connecting the Concepts and Aha! exercises. And, as youhave come to expect with any Bittinger text, we bring you a complete supplements package that now includes an Annotated Instructor's Edition and MyMathLab, Addison-Wesley's on-line course solution.
