Intermediate Algebra

The new high school edition of Cynthia Young's Intermediate Algebra continues to bridge the gap between in-class work and homework by helping students overcome common learning barriers and build confidence in their ability to do mathematics. The text features truly unique, strong pedagogy and is written in a clear, single voice that speaks directly to students and mirrors how instructors communicate in lectures. In this revision, Young enables students to become independent, successful learners by including hundreds of additional exercises, more opportunities to use technology, and a new themed modeling project that empowers students to apply what they have learned in the classroom to the world outside the classroom. The seamlessly integrated digital and print resources to accompany Intermediate Algebra: Advanced High School Edition offer additional tools for both instructors and students in order to help students experience success.
