The authors aim to develop students' understanding of algebra concepts by using a spiral approach. This approach presents a topic at an elementary level and then returns to it at increasing levels of complexity. This gradual introduction builds student confidence while developing concepts, rules, and definitions. To complement this approach, the authors include a wealth of numerical and algebraic examples that reflect a wide variety of situations. These illustrative examples compare and contrast related ideas, helping students understand the sometimes subtle distinctions among various situations.

"Once we had a group of students who worked their way through the Hirsch/Goodman series, complaints about a gap between developmental and college level mathematics essentially disappeared. Students transitioned much more easily and, now, students who come to college algebra through our sequence succeed at rates higher then students who had no need of remediation."
