"Elementary Algebra" offers a practical approach to the study of beginning algebra concepts, consistent with the needs of today's student. The author puts special emphasis on the worked examples in each section, treating them as the primary means of instruction, since students rely so heavily on examples to complete assignments. The applications are also uniquely designed so that students have an experience that is more true to life - students must read information as it appears in a "live" media source and extract only the relevant information needed to solve a stated problem. The unique pedagogy in the text focuses on promoting better study habits and critical thinking skills along with orienting students to think and reason mathematically. Through "Elementary Algebra", students will not only be better prepared for future math courses, they will be better prepared to solve problems and answer questions they encounter in their own lives.
