For courses in Basic College Mathematics.
This ISBN is for the 18-week MyLab Combo Access card. Pearson eText is included.
With students and instructors every step of the way
This revision retains the hallmark characteristics that have made Basic College Mathematics so easy to learn and teach from, while adding updates to the text and MyLab(R) to keep it more relevant, and more supportive, than ever. The building block organization of the text builds essential skills by breaking mathematics into manageable pieces. The authors act as a student's "math coach," there to support them at every turn with exercises, videos, and examples specifically built to help with the trickiest problems. Finally, an emphasis on the use of math in careers and financial literacy throughout helps to answer the perennial question from students: "when will I ever use this?"
This revision includes all-important updates to applications and examples, more support for students, and resources to help instructors take advantage of all the learning tools at their disposal in the text and MyLab Math course. Basic College Mathematics provides a comprehensive program that can work for any course format, from traditional lecture-based courses to fully online and distance learning.
