BEGINNING AND INTERMEDIATE ALGEBRA is the ideal text for professors who want to eliminate the significant overlap of topics found in separate beginning and intermediate algebra texts. This best-selling text helps students develop the ability to synthesize and conceptualize material by thoroughly integrating coverage of graphing and problem solving without sacrificing manipulative skills. Students appreciate the non-technical writing and the Authors' Notes in worked examples, while instructors appreciate the realistic applications, mathematical accuracy, and the flexibility Gustafson/Frisk affords.
