With a strong emphasis on mathematics of the real world, this text unites the concepts of elementary algebra and intermediate algebra in one volume.
A midtext diagnostic review contains exercises based on the material contained in the first half of the text. These exercises are organized by chapter so that students can identify any chapters that need further review.
