Intermediate, Algebra & Trigonometry 

Intermediate Algebra, Fourth Edition effectively prepares students for their next mathematics course. The text presents all the topics associated with a second course in algebra, providing students with the foundation in the concepts and skills that they need to master in order to succeed in the next course. This book helps students develop the ability to integrate and conceptualize and make the connections between geometric and algebraic solutions. Topics are introduced from a intuitive perspective. This text successfully meets the needs of a varied student population. Students with less mathematical background will appreciate the non-technical writing of the authors' notes in worked examples, and the review of basic algebra. Students with more skill will appreciate the comprehensive coverage of topics and the challenging problems that appear at the end of exercise sets. - from Amzon
