About this title

Synopsis

Timmons, Johnson, and McCook provide an applied text for intermediate algebra students not continuing in math and science. Students are encouraged to develop and test mathematical models in a variety of real-world applications such as personal finance and home decorating. The use of technology is introduced, although not required, through end-of-chapter lab exercises.

Review

"One of my favorite ideas of this book is the continual stressing of linear functions. This book definitely 'overkills' the concept of linear equations and functions, and that's a good thing. By the time the students finish the course, they have a firm grasp of this topic and how to use it, which gives them the flexibility and confidence to handle other functions in a similar manner."
