A true balance of traditional and reform instructional approaches constantly reinforces the major concepts of algebra throughout the text. The early introduction of fundamental algebraic concepts through numerous interactive examples and a wide variety of exercises show students how to translate English phrases to mathematical symbols. Tussy and Gustafson's fully integrated learning process is designed to expand students' reasoning abilities and teach them how to read, write, and think mathematically.

Review:
"Elementary Algebra is a welcome addition to the choices of texts currently available . . . [it] is well written . . . a 'user-friendly' text for students."

"I was impressed with the accent on technology and the introduction to scientific calculators. And the Key Concept feature is great! I still remember being frustrated when I was a student in being unable to see the 'big picture' and felt as though I were memorizing in a vacuum."

"This book is well written with excellent problem sets. The problem sets are some of the best I have seen; they are motivating and interesting."

"I find the explanations, examples, and self-study exercises to be extremely well written. I was pleased to see the abundance of interesting 'real-life' problems and examples. I feel an outstanding feature of this text and the Prealgebra text are the study sets; the quality of the exercise sets . . . [are] the best I have encountered for this level course."
