Author Description

Prealgebra, Third Edition, is a significant revision of the second edition, especially with respect to design, an all-new art program, pedagogy, and an enhanced supplements package. Its unique approach, which has been developed and refined over many years, is designed to help students both learn and retain mathematical skills. It is our belief that the third edition will continue to help today's students through pedagogical use of full color and updated applications. As part of MathMax: The Bittinger System of Instruction, a comprehensive and well-integrated supplements package provides maximum support for both instructor and student. MathMax: The Bittinger System of Instruction offers a completely integrated package of four-color text, multimedia CD-ROM, interactive tutorial software and videos that guide students successfully through developmental math. Key elements of the MathMax system include learning objectives keyed to the exposition, exercises, and examples; a hallmark five-step problem-solving process; and modern, interesting applications and problems.
