The book is designed for a one-semester course in beginning algebra and is appropriate for lecture, learning center, laboratory, and self-paced settings. The ninth edition continues the series' hallmark approach of encouraging mastery of mathematics through careful practice. The text provides detailed, straightforward explanations and accessible pedagogy to help students \u003cb\u003egrow their math skills from the ground up.\u003c\/b\u003e The authors use a three-pronged approach of \u003cb\u003ecommunication, pattern recognition, and problem solving\u003c\/b\u003e to present concepts understandably, stimulate critical-thinking skills, and stress reading and communication skills in order to help students become effective problem-solvers. Features such as Tips for Student Success, Check Yourself exercises, and Activities underscore this approach and the underlying philosophy of mastering math through practice. Exercise sets have been significantly expanded and are now better-organized, and applications are now more thoroughly integrated throughout the text. \u003cbr\u003eAssessment and Learning in Knowledge Spaces is a Web-based, artificially intelligent assessment and learning system. ALEKS uses adaptive questioning to quickly and accurately determine exactly what a student knows and doesn't know in a course. ALEKS then instructs the student on the topics she is most ready to learn. As a student works through a course, ALEKS periodically reassesses the student to ensure that topics learned are also retained. ALEKS courses are very complete in their topic coverage and ALEKS avoids multiple-choice questions. A student who shows a high level of mastery of an ALEKS course will be successful in the actual course she is taking.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stefan Baratto,Barry Bergman,Donald Hutchison\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1259681947\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781259681943\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McGraw-Hill Companies\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/02\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Stefan Baratto","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48447561269503,"sku":"9781259681943","price":341.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5fb9a9ef-30f0-4b92-a94c-a1e268239c2b.jpg?v=1777233511","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/beginning-algebra-with-aleks-standalone-stefan-baratto-9781259681943","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
