Integrated Arithmetic and Basic Algebra / Edition 5

by Bill Jordan, William Palow

Overview

Integrated Arithmetic and Basic Algebra, Fifth Edition, integrates arithmetic and algebra to allow students to see the big picture of math. Rather than separating these two subjects, this text helps students recognize algebra as a natural extension of arithmetic. As a result, students see how concepts are interrelated and are better prepared for future courses.
