Elementary Algebra

Elementary Algebra, 9th Edition, is a textbook designed to build a solid foundation in core mathematical principles. Grounded in clear writing and continuous review, the volume aims to cultivate mathematical reasoning and support productive work in algebra as students prepare for subsequent coursework.

Broad areas of coverage center on linear equations and inequalities, polynomials, and quadratic equations. The text also introduces operations with rational expressions as well as roots and radicals.

Structured to accommodate lecture-format instruction, each section is planned for presentation within a 45- to 50-minute class period. Built-in pedagogical bridges help students connect related concepts to one another as they advance through the material.
