Product Description
Prealgebra: Media Enhanced Edition, 3e by Baratto/Bergman is the latest offering from authors Stefan Baratto and Barry Bergman. This media enhanced edition of Prealgebra focuses on mastering math through practice with the integration of the ALEKS® software. ALEKS helps to remediate students who may have a lack of prerequisite knowledge for the prealgebra course by way of an artificial intelligence engine. ALEKS provides students with a map (pictorial graph) of their progress to identify mathematical skills they have mastered and skills where remediation is required. Icons accompany exercises in the text where a similar problem is available in ALEKS. ... Read more

college text book
Book was brand new, fast ship, awesome price save fifty dollars compared to bookstore price.

An algebra book that really adds up
I am taking college classes after being out of school for almost 30 years. I was never good at math even in high school, so I was very concerned about going into an algebra class and falling on my face! Between a teacher who really cared and an excellent text book, I was able to understand the problems well enough to pass the course. I probably will never LOVE math, but I am able to find my way through. ... Read more

Product Description
This book is a unified text that serves your needs. Most colleges offering elementary and intermediate algebra use two different texts, one for each course. As a result, students may be required to purchase two texts; this can result in a considerable amount of topic overlap. Over the last few years, several publishers have issued "combined" texts that take chapters from two texts and merge them into a single book. This has allowed students to purchase a single text, but it has done little to reduce the overlap. The goal of this author team has been to produce a text that was more than a combined text. They wanted to unify the topics and themes of beginning and intermediate algebra in a fluid, non-repetitive text. We also wanted to produce a text that will prepare students from different mathematical backgrounds for college algebra.We believe we have accomplished our goals. For students entering directly from an arithmetic or pre-algebra course, this is a text that contains all of the material needed to prepare for college algebra. It can be offered in two quarters or in two semesters.The new Review Chapter found between chapters 6 and 7 serves as a mid-book review for students preparing to take a final exam that covers the first seven chapters. Finally, we have produced a text that will accommodate those students placing into the second term of a two-term sequence. Here is where the Review Chapter is most valuable. It gives the students an opportunity to check that they have all of the background required to begin in Chapter 7. If the students struggle with any of the material in the Review Chapter, they are referred to the appropriate section for further review. ... Read more

Basic Mathematical Skills with Geometry, 7/e by Baratto/Bergman is part of the latest offerings in the successful Streeter-Hutchison Series in Mathematics.The seventh edition continues the hallmark approach of encouraging the learning of mathematics by focusing its coverage onmastering math through practice.This worktext seeks to provide carefully detailed explanations and accessible pedagogy to introduce basic mathematical skills and put the content in context.The authors use a three-pronged approach (I. Communication, II. Pattern Recognition, and III. Problem Solving) to present the material and stimulate critical thinking skills. Items such as Math Anxiety boxes, Check Yourself exercises, and Activities represent this approach and the underlying philosophy of mastering math through practice. The exercise sets have been expanded, organized, and clearly labeled. Vocational and professional-technical exercises have been added throughout. Repeated exposure to this consistent structure should help advance the student’s skills in relating to mathematics. The book is designed for a one-semester basic math course and is appropriate for lecture, learning center, laboratory, or self-paced courses. It is accompanied by numerous useful supplements, including McGraw-Hill’s online homework management system, MathZone. ... Read more

This was the frist time that I have order a book from this site. I was afraid at frist but when the book came I was very pleased.The description was very clear and true to what it said about the book. I will be ordering more books in the future.I am going to college and I will need more books. The price was excellent and the book was in excellent condition.

Thank you

GREAT SERVICE A++++

expensive school books
I am not sure how this person ended up with a book still in plastic, but I am a person that cannot do my online classed with online books (gives me a headache to stare at the screen that long). So getting my books online for a very good price has really helped my budget and my eyestrain. The book showed up in plenty of time for my class, thank you.

Product Description
The Kernel Function and Conformal Mapping by Stefan Bergman is a revised edition of The Kernel Function. The author has made extensive changes in the original volume. The present book will be of interest not only to mathematicians, but also to engineers, physicists, and computer scientists. The applications of orthogonal functions in solving boundary value problems and conformal mappings onto canonical domains are discussed; and publications are indicated where programs for carrying out numerical work using high-speed computers can be found. The unification of methods in the theory of functions of one and several complex variables is one of the purposes of introducing the kernel function and the domains with a distinguished boundary. This approach has been extensively developed during the last two decades. This second edition of Professor Bergman's book reviews this branch of the theory including recent developments not dealt with in the first edition. The presentation of the topics is simple and presupposes only knowledge of an elementary course in the theory of analytic functions of one variable. ... Read more

Hutchisons elementary and intermediate algebra
If I had. known it did not come with math zone I would have purchased my book at the student book store. I ended up paying another fifty
dollars from my pocket to get math zone. So amazon waas not a good value.

Not too shabby
As it turns out i ended up not receiving a mathzone registration code along with my book, all i did was email the guys and wham, all my money was returned. I'd say that's a pretty good deal considering the mathzone registration code that should have came along with the book only costs about $50.00 separately. Happy Shopping! :) ... Read more
