Developmental Mathematics: Basic Mathematics and Algebra Edition

by Margaret Lial, John Hornsby, Terry McGinnis, Stanley Salzman, Diana Hestwood

Overview

NOTE: This edition features the same content as the traditional text in a convenient, three-hole-punched, loose-leaf version. Books a la Carte also offer a great value; this format costs significantly less than a new textbook. Before purchasing, check with your instructor or review your course syllabus to ensure that you select the correct ISBN. For Books a la Carte editions that include MyLabTM or MasteringTM, several versions may exist for each title — including customized versions for individual schools — and registrations are not transferable. In addition, you may need a Course ID, provided by your instructor, to register for and use MyLab or Mastering products.

For courses in Basic Math & Beginning Algebra .

The perfect combination to master concepts: student-friendly writing, well-crafted exercises, and superb support

The Lial Series has helped thousands of students succeed in developmental mathematics by combining clear, concise writing and examples with carefully crafted exercises to support skill development and conceptual understanding. The reader-friendly style delivers help precisely when needed. This revision continues to support students with enhancements in the text and MyLabTM Math course to encourage conceptual understanding beyond skills and procedures. Student-oriented features throughout the text and MyLab Math, including the Relating Concepts exercises, Guided Solutions, Test Your Word Power, and the Lial Video Library, make the Lial series one of the most well-rounded and student-friendly available.

Also available with MyLab Math
