Elementary & Intermediate Algebra, 4/e by Baratto/Bergman is part of
the latest offerings in the successful Streeter-Hutchison Series in
Mathematics. The fourth edition continues the hallmark approach of
encouraging the learning of mathematics by focusing its coverage on
mastering math through practice. This worktext seeks to provide
carefully detailed explanations and accessible pedagogy to introduce
beginning and intermediate algebra concepts and put the content in
context. The authors use a three-pronged approach (I. Communication,
II. Pattern Recognition, and III. Problem Solving) to present the
material and stimulate critical thinking skills.
Items such as Math Anxiety boxes, Check Yourself exercises, and
Activities represent this approach and the underlying philosophy of
mastering math through practice. The exercise sets have been expanded,
organized, and clearly labeled. Vocational and professional-technical
exercises have been added throughout. Repeated exposure to this
consistent structure should help advance the student.s skills in
relating to mathematics. The book is designed for a combined beginning
and intermediate algebra course, or it can be used across two courses,
and is appropriate for lecture, learning center, laboratory, or self-
paced courses. It is accompanied by numerous useful supplements,
including McGraw-Hill.s online homework management system, MathZone.
