Elementary and intermediate algebra carson 3rd edition

Connection boxes are designed to bridge the concepts presented throughout the text so students understand how they build on each other.

Real, Relevant, and Interesting Applications in the examples and exercises illustrate the everyday use of basic algebraic concepts by reflecting real situations in science, engineering, health, finance, the arts, and other areas.

Your Turn Practice Exercises found after most examples give students the opportunity to work problems similar to the examples they have just seen. This practice step makes the text more interactive and provides immediate feedback to help students develop confidence in their problem-solving skills. Of Interest boxes , with historical notes and fun facts, are designed to enhance the learning process by making math concepts interesting and memorable.

Varied Exercises give students the practice they need to master skills and concepts. Section Exercise sets are carefully graded to allow students to build confidence in their problem-solving skills as they work through the homework.

Review Exercises at the end of each exercise set cover previously learned concepts not only to keep the material fresh for students, but also to serve as a foundational review for the discussion in the next section. Puzzle Problems appear at the end of selected exercise sets to encourage creative and critical thinking.

These problems often have no formulaic approach to finding a solution. Collaborative Exercises, which appear once per chapter, encourage students to work in groups to discuss mathematics and use the topics from a particular section or group of sections to solve a problem. End-of-chapter material is designed to help students review effectively, and includes: Defined terms referenced by section and page number.

Summary of key concepts and examples presented in an easy-to-study, two-column format. Review exercises covering all key concepts.

Practice Tests with problems that correlate to the short-answer tests in the Printable Test Bank. Cumulative Review exercises help students stay current with all the material they have learned and help them prepare for midterm and final exams.

An instructor walks students through each problem, and students can pause and rewind as needed so they can study at their own pace. All videos include optional subtitles in English and Spanish.

New to This Edition. New and Updated Features The design has been updated to enhance readability and streamline the presentation. The exercise sets were carefully reviewed and revised throughout to improve the grading from basic to challenging, the odd-even pairing, and the correlation of exercises to examples. Cumulative Review exercises are now available at the end of every chapter, beginning with Chapter 2, to give students more frequent opportunities to assess and reinforce their mastery of skills and concepts.

An instructor walks students through each problem, allowing students to pause and rewind as needed so they can study at their own pace. Worksheets for Classroom or Lab Practice offer extra practice for every section of the text, with ample space for sudents to show their work.

These lab-and classroom-friendly workbooks encourage students to write about key vocabulary, properties, procedures, and strategies in their own words; work stepped-out solutions in guided examples; and solve additional Practice Problems. The Worksheets can be packaged with the student text. Increased exercise coverage gives students more practice exercises than ever before. Premade homework assignments will be available for each section of the text.

In additional to the section-level premade assignments, the Carson MyMathLab courses will also include chapter review assignments for each chapter. Translating Word Problems Animations help students practice the translation step of solving word problems.
