Author Description

The new Fourth Edition of McKeague's popular book presents the basic concepts of algebra early and then applies them to new topics as they are encountered. Patient and clear in its explanations and problems, McKeague's presentation helps students understand the material and concepts and gives additional information in visual form, diagrams, charts, and graphs. Each chapter opens with a real-world application and wherever possible, introductions are expanded in the chapter and carried through to topics found later in the book.
