Elementary And Intermediate Algebra

Recent progress in bioinformatics and computational biology has exposed a need for new algorithms and approaches in data integration, statistics, data mining, and more. Advances in Bioinformatics presents the latest research in these fields, and synthesizes the results of IWPACBB 2010 meeting.

The Third Edition of the Bittinger Graphs and Models series helps students succeed in algebra by emphasizing a visual understanding of concepts. This latest edition incorporates a new Visualizing the Graph feature that helps students make intuitive connections between graphs and functions without the aid of a graphing calculator. In addition, students learn problem-solving skills from the Bittinger hallmark five-step problem-solving process coupled with Connecting the Concepts and Aha! Exercises. As you have come to expect with any Bittinger text, we bring you a complete supplements package including MyMathLab® and the newInstructor and Adjunct Support Manual.

Using authentic data to make math meaningful to students, Jay Lehmann's algebra series uses a curve-fitting approach to model compelling, real-world situations, while answering the perennial question "But what is this good for?" Beginning with interesting data sets, students are asked to find models and derive equations to fit a scenario, helping them to understand functions graphically, numerically, and symbolically. Updated exercises, labs, and graphs deepen students' understanding of core concepts and keeps them motivated to learn. Teaching and Learning Experience This program provides a better learning experience-for you and your students. Here's how: Personalized learning with MyMathLab: Additionally, MyMathLab(R) provides a wide range of homework, tutorial, and assessment tools that make it easy to manage your course in any setting.

“Empower your Students for Success†George Woodbury's Algebra Seriesempowers students for future success in college-level math courses through its early-and-often approach to functions and graphing, integrated study strategies, and quality exercise sets that encourage true conceptual understanding. The early-and-often approach to functionshelps students prepare for future math courses. A Study Skill Strategyis introduced in each chapter opener and then expanded upon throughout the chapter in the Building Your Study Strategyboxes that appear before each exercise set. Students can further develop their study skills with the Study Skills Workbook, written by Alan Bass, to accompany the Woodbury texts. Vocabulary Exercisesbegin each section of exercises and check student understanding of the basic vocabulary presented in the preceding section.
