The Bittinger Concepts and Applications Series is a proven program that prepares you to transition from skills-oriented elementary algebra to more concept-oriented college-level mathematics courses. Elementary Algebra helps you understand and apply mathematical concepts, encouraging you to develop the critical-thinking skills you'll need to reason mathematically, to communicate mathematically, and to identify and solve mathematical problems.
The 10th Edition focuses on problem-solving, applications, and concepts. Updated material, developed from the authors' classroom experience, includes more systematic review and preparation for practice along with more real-world applications.
