Introductory Algebra (with CD-ROM, Make the Grade, and InfoTrac)

Tussy and Gustafson's fully integrated learning process is designed to expand students' reasoning abilities and teach them how to read, write, and think mathematically. In this text, the introduction of coordinate graphing appears early, in Chapter 3. The authors build the strong mathematical foundation necessary to give students confidence to apply their newly acquired skills in further mathematics courses, at home, or on the job.
