Beginning and Intermediate Algebra with Graphing Calculators: An Integrated Approach (with CD-ROM, BCA/iLrn™ Tutorial, and InfoTrac)

This book does a relational learning technique on Algebra---that is, you get the basics and intermediate referenced to each other in this text so that you know why you learned what you did earlier in the book.I don't trust the building blocks approach to math learning if it leaves out what Frisk and Gustafson have included in this text.I also recommend their listed; Supplements for Students;(page xix), like:Conquering Math Anxiety by Cynthia Arem; Study Guide by [not found by me, please search Amazon or other search engine]; Student Solutions Manual by M. Weldon; Geometry by K. J. Smith.
