Synopsis

Give your students the text that makes algebra accessible and engaging - McKeague's "Elementary and Intermediate Algebra, 4th edition, International Edition". Pat McKeague's passion for teaching mathematics is apparent on every page, and this Fourth Edition continues to provide students with a thorough grounding in the concepts central to their success in mathematics. Attention to detail, an exceptionally clear writing style, and continuous review and reinforcement are McKeague hallmarks that constitute the solid foundation of the text, while new pedagogy help students 'bridge the concepts.' These 'bridges' guide students and help them make successful connections from concept to concept-and from this course to the next. "Elementary and Intermediate Algebra, 4th edition, International Edition" is one of the most current and reliable texts you will find for the course, and is ideally structured and organized for a lecture-format. Each section can be discussed in a 45- to 50-minute class session, allowing you to easily construct your course to fit your needs.
