Prepare, practice, review The proven approach of Michael Sullivan and Michael Sullivan III focuses students on the fundamental skills needed for the course: prepare for class, practice with homework, and review the concepts. The
Enhanced with Graphing Utilities Series offers a thorough integration of graphing utilities into topics, allowing students to explore mathematical concepts and encounter ideas usually studied in later courses. Many examples show solutions using algebra side by side with graphing techniques. In the
8th Edition of the series, all exercises and examples in the texts have been reviewed and updated as needed. The authors have added new problem-solving and review features - including
Interactive Figure exercises that get students thinking visually and conceptually, and
Integrated Review within MyLab(TM) Math for students who need to revisit prerequisite topics.
