PThis text covers the fundamental concepts of mathematics, from arithmetic through beginning algebra, using applications from a wide range of career and technology disciplines. It is designed to present mathematical concepts in a style that is easy to follow and understand. The text also includes numerous opportunities to practice and master the concepts presented./PPBIFeatures of this text include:/B/I/PULLIExamples that work out problems step by step./LILISelf-check problems at the end of every section./LILIReview sections to help reinforce the concepts presented in that chapter./LILIApplication sections that relate mathematical concepts to real-world situations./LI/ULPA free StudyWizard CD-ROM is included with this text to provide additional practice opportunities for students, and an Instructor’s Manual (ISBN: 0-13-087335-7) is available to instructors./PH3Audience/H3PThis book is intended for adult students who need an extensive review of arithmetic. It is designed to prepare a student for an introductory course in algebra and also to give that student a review of the basics of arithmetic and help them to apply those skills to real-life problems. Although our main intent was to create a text for college students who need remediation or review prior to a college algebra course, the book would also work well for students in a GED program, students in a technical or vocational school, or any adult education program participants who desire a thorough review of arithmetic skills. These skills are important to everyday life and are the crucial base skills for continuing mathematics education./PH3Content/H3PThis text is conceptually based, not stressing the memorization of a static list of rules, but instead emphasizing the importance of gaining a thorough understanding of principles involved. It is written in a format that is easy for students to follow and understand. Each chapter contains many step-by-step examp@E~¸Që… ¾Û€
