Basic Mathematics (with Make the Grade and InfoTrac)

This book is intended for a one-term course in "Basic Mathematics" or "Arithmetic" usually found at community colleges. Retaining the format and style of previous editions, this revision has been updated to provide a modern approach to arithmetic concepts. Diagrams, charts, and graphs are emphasized to give students additional information, in visual form, to help them understand the material covered. Each chapter opens with a real-world application. Wherever possible these introductions are expanded in the chapter and carried through to topics found later in the book.
