Larson Elementary and Intermediate Algebra Media Enhanced Edition Fourth Edition

Developed to prepare students in the combined elementary and intermediate algebra course for a college-level curriculum, "Elementary and Intermediate Algebra" owes its success to the hallmark features for which the Larson team is known: learning by example, accessible writing style, emphasis on visualization, and comprehensive exercise sets. These pedagogical features are carefully coordinated to ensure that students are better able to make connections between mathematical concepts and understand the content.The new "Student Support Edition" continues the Larson tradition of guided learning by incorporating a comprehensive range of student success materials throughout the text. Additionally, instructors and students alike can track progress with HM Assess, a new online diagnostic assessment and remediation tool from Houghton Mifflin."New!" An extensive student support section, "Your Guide to Success in Algebra," contains all the tools the student needs to succeed in the course. "Your Guide to Academic Success" includes a review of math study skills, learning styles, test-taking strategies, time management tips, unique study strategies, course progress tracker, and comprehensive guides to using the textbook and study aids effectively. "Your Guide to the Chapters"includes progress trackers that outline each chapter's topics and learning objectives, along with a checklist of all the study aids available for that chapter."New!" "Removable Study Cards" provide students with convenient access to common formulas, algebraic properties, conversions, geometric formula study sheets, and more. These study cards enable students to refresh their knowledge quickly anytime, anywhere."New!" "HMTesting (Powered by Diploma)" provides instructors with wide array of algorithmic test items, and improved functionality and ease of use, including the ability to author and edit algorithmic questions."New!"
