Algebra and Trigonometry
by Marvin L Bittinger, Judith A Beecher, David J Ellenbogen, and Judith A Penna
This text was written with the goal of having students succeed in this course, and gain a foundation to succeed in further mathematics courses. To that end, the authors have written a text with a theme (showing the connections between the zeros, x-intercepts, and solutions), with a series of side-by-side features (designed to show examples being solved algebraically and graphically), and with the knowledge that many students are using graphing technology to help them learn the key concepts in this course (and so the book automatically comes bundled with a free graphing calculator manual). Thus, the approach of this text is more interactive than most texts and the authors feel that, accordingly, more students will succeed in this course.
MathMax: The Bittinger System of Instruction offers a completely integrated package of four-color text, multimedia CD-ROM, interactive tutorial software and videos that guide students successfully through developmental math with learning objectives keyed to the exposition, exercises, and examples, a hallmark five-step problem solving process and current, relevant applications and problems.
Intermediate Algebra, Eighth Edition is a significant revision of the seventh edition, especially with respect to design, an all-new art program, pedagogy, and an enhanced supplements package. Its unique approach, developed and refined over many years, helps students both learn and retain mathematical skills. This new edition will continue to help today's students through the effective use of full color and updated applications. A comprehensive and well-integrated supplements package accompanies the text, providing maximum support for instructors and students alike.
The Seventh Edition of Calculus and Its Applications builds on its reputation as one of the most student-oriented and clearly written Applied Calculus texts available. The optional use of technology has been significantly increased in the Seventh Edition. The content has been streamlined, applications and exercises have been updated, including new data sources where appropriate, and the presentation of topics has been modernized through the use of technology.
The Bittinger Worktext Series changed the face of developmental education with the introduction of objective-based worktexts that presented math one concept at a time. This approach allowed readers to understand the rationale behind each concept before practicing the associated skills and then moving on to the next topic. With this revision, Marv Bittinger continues to focus on building success through conceptual understanding, while also supporting readers with quality applications, exercises, and new review and study materials to help them apply and retain their knowledge.
Prealgebra, Third Edition, is a significant revision of the second edition, especially with respect to design, an all-new art program, pedagogy, and an enhanced supplements package. Its unique approach, which has been developed and refined over many years, is designed to help students both learn and retain mathematical skills. It is our belief that the third edition will continue to help today's students through pedagogical use of full color and updated applications. As part of MathMax: The Bittinger System of Instruction, a comprehensive and well-integrated supplements package provides maximum support for both instructor and student.
MathMax: The Bittinger System of Instruction offers a completely integrated package of four-color text, multimedia CD-ROM, interactive tutorial software and videos that guide students successfully through developmental math. Key elements of the MathMax system include learning objectives keyed to the exposition, exercises, and examples; a hallmark five-step problem-solving process; and modern, interesting applications and problems.
Geared toward helping students learn and apply mathematics by incorporating the five-step problem-solving process, this text integrates real-world applications with proven pedagogy and an accessible writing style. The Bittinger/Ellenbogen hardback series has consistently provided teachers and students with the tools needed to succeed in developmental mathematics. With this revision, the authors have maintained of 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 features added or revised, are the Technology Connection Boxes, Collaborative Corner Exercises, and World Wide Web integration. This series not only provides students with the tools necessary to learn and understand math, but also provides them with insights into how math works in the world around them.
Precalculus
by Marvin L Bittinger, Judith A Beecher, David J Ellenbogen, and Judith A Penna
With a visual, graphical approach that emphasizes connections among concepts, this text helps students make the most of their study time. The authors show how different mathematical ideas are tied together through their zeros, solutions, and x-intercepts theme; side-by-side algebraic and graphical solutions; calculator screens; and examples and exercises. By continually reinforcing the connections among various mathematical concepts as well as different solution methods, the authors lead students to the ultimate goal of mastery and success in class.
Calculus and Its Applications, Expanded Version
by Marvin L Bittinger, David J Ellenbogen, and Scott J. Surgent
This is an expanded version of Calculus and its Applications, Tenth Edition, by Bittinger, Ellenbogen, and Surgent. This edition adds coverage of trigonometric functions, differential equations, sequences and series, probability distributions, and matrices.
Calculus and Its Applications has become a best-selling text because of its accessible presentation that anticipates your needs. The writing style provides intuitive explanations that build on earlier mathematical experiences. Explanations are often coupled with figures to help you visualize new calculus concepts. Additionally, the text's numerous and up-to-date applications from business, economics, life sciences, and social sciences help motivate you. Algebra diagnostic and review material is available for those who need to strengthen basic skills. Every aspect of this text is designed to motivate and help you to more readily understand and apply the mathematics.
