Summary: Beginning and Intermediate Algebra, second edition, was written to provide a solid foundation in algebra as well as to develop students' problem-solving skills. Specific care has been taken to ensure that students have the most up-to-date and relevant text preparation for their next mathematics course, as well as to help students succeed in nonmathematical courses that require a grasp of algebraic fundamentals. I have tried to achieve this by writing a user-friendly text that is keyed to objectives and contains many worket-out examples. The basic concepts of graphs and functions are introduced early, and problem solving techniques, real-life and real-data applications data interpretation, appropriate use of technology, mental mathematics, number sense, critical thinking, decision-making and gemetric concepts are emphasized and integrated throughout the book. - Preface
