This book covers both elementary and intermediate algebra in one volume, with an early introduction to graphing and functions, and with all the proven pedagogy and problem sets of the successful BE series. With this revision, the authors have retained all the hallmark features that have made this series so successful, including its five-step problem solving process, student-oriented writing style, real data applications, and variety of exercises. Among the new features added or revised are the Technology Connection boxes, Collaborative Corner exercises, and World Wide Web integration.
