This is NOT a beginning algebra course. Students are expected to be knowledgable in basic algebra skills and concepts. The text includes many, many opportunities for learning. Each chapter begins with a recommended review and ends with a concise review of concepts covered. Numerous examples are completely worked out in the text and on-line help is available at internet websites.
