Elementary and Intermediate Algebra - Alan (Citrus College Tussy - Bog

Algebra is like a foreign language for many students. They have difficulty translating the words, their definitions and how it applies to problem-solving. Tussy/Gustafson's ELEMENTARY AND INTERMEDIATE ALGEBRA, 6th Edition, addresses these concerns, giving you the tools needed to understand the language of algebra. Strategy and Why explanations in the worked examples show the "how" and the "why" behind problem-solving. Algebra is not just about the x -- it's also about the WHY. The text contains many opportunities to apply the algebraic skills you have learned to solve a wide variety of interesting real-life applications using a six-step problem-solving strategy. In combination, the text and WebAssign will guide you through an integrated learning process that will expand your reasoning abilities as it teaches you how to read, write and think mathematically using the language of Algebra.
