Intermediate Algebra

by Michael Sullivan III, Katherine R. Struve

The Sullivan/Struve/Mazzarella Algebra Series was written to motivate students to “do the math” outside of the classroom through a design and organization that models what you do inside the classroom. The left-to-right annotations in the examples provide a teacher’s voice through every step of the problem-solving process. The Sullivan exercise sets, which begin with Quick Checks to reinforce each example, present problem types of every possible derivation with a gradual increase in difficulty level. The new “Do the Math” Workbook acts as a companion to the text and to MyMathLab® by providing short warm-up exercises, guided practice examples, and additional “Do the Math” practice exercises for every section of the text.
