Description

Based on the best-selling series by the Aufmann team, this hardcover text for the combined introductory and intermediate algebra course adheres to the formula that has made the Aufmann developmental texts so reliable for both students and instructors. The text's clear writing style, emphasis on problem-solving strategies, and proven Aufmann Interactive Method—in an objective-based framework—offer guided learning for both lecture and self-paced courses. The completely integrated learning system is organized by objectives. Each chapter begins with a list of learning objectives, which are woven throughout the text, in Exercises, Chapter Tests, and Cumulative Reviews, as well as through the print and multimedia ancillaries. The result is a seamless, easy-to-follow learning system. The Instructor's Annotated Edition (IAE) features a format rich with instructor support materials at point-of-use in the margins surrounding a reduced student text page. AIM for Success, a special Preface for Students, guides students in successful use of the text and walks them through the Aufmann Interactive Method (AIM). Suggestions for teaching AIM for Success as a lesson on the first day of class are available in the Instructor's Resource Manual. Prep Tests at the beginning of each chapter preview the prerequisite skills that will be needed. The answers to these questions can be found in the Answer Appendix along with a reference to the objective from which the review question was taken. The Aufmann Interactive Method (AIM), which enhances the presentation of every objective, features one or more sets of matched-pair examples that encourage students to interact with the text. The first example in each set is completely worked out; the matched Problem prompts students to practice concepts as they are presented in the text. Each Problem includes a reference to an Appendix in the back of the text where there is a completely worked-out solution. This immediate feedback reinforces the concept, helps to identify problem areas, and prevents frustration. Eduspace, powered by Blackboard, for the Aufmann/Lockwood Algebra: Beginning and Intermediate course features algorithmic exercises, test bank content in question pools, an online study guide, interactive tutorials for appropriate sections and video explanations.
