Synopsis

This intermediate book expands on "Beginning Algebra" by the same authors. "Intermediate Algebra, Form B" is one of the texts in the highest level in the Streeter series, and is a spin-off of "Intermediate Algebra" (McGraw-Hill, 1989). Form B covers the same material and in the same order so that lecturers can keep the course fresh without having to change their syllabi.

Active Learning is stressed via "Check Yourself" boxes which follow every example. Students are asked to apply what they have just learned and are able to receive immediate feedback.
Text is available on Primis.
Graphical solutions to linear equations are now presented in a separate section that appears after algebraic methods have been developed.
The "ac" method of factoring and the trial-and-error method are treated in separate sections.
There is a new review chapter related to the real number system.
The material related to radical expressions has been expanded.
Separate sections have been developed discussing the process of solving applications of intermediate algebra topics.
Exercise Sets and real-world applications support the NCTM/AMATYC Standard exposing students to a more active and meaningful understanding of mathematics and how it relates to everyday life.
