This text covers topics that are usually associated with intermediate algebra and college algebra. It can be used for a one-semester course, but it contains ample material for a two-semester course. The basic concepts of intermediate algebra are presented in this text in a simple, straight-forward way. Algebraic ideas are developed in a logical sequence and in an easy-to-read manner without excessive formalism. Concepts are developed through examples, reinforced through additional examples, and then applied in a variety of problem-solving situations. There is a common thread that runs throughout the book : Learn a skill, Practice the skill, Apply the skill." --
Forest Growth and Yield Modeling synthesizes current scientific literature and provides insights in how models are constructed. Giving suggestions for future developments, and outlining keys for successful implementation of models the book provides a thorough and up-to-date, single source reference for students, researchers and practitioners requiring a current digest of research and methods in the field. The book describes current modelling approaches for predicting forest growth and yield and explores the components that comprise the various modelling approaches. It provides the reader with the tools for evaluating and calibrating growth and yield models and outlines the steps necessary for developing a forest growth and yield model. Single source reference providing an evaluation and synthesis of current scientific literature Detailed descriptions of example models Covers statistical techniques used in forest model construction Accessible, reader-friendly style
Presenting algebraic concepts in a simple, straightforward manner, Kaufmann's Intermediate Algebra, Fifth Edition sets the stage for your students' mastery of the discipline. The author's carefully developed and well-respected writing style keeps students active and interested in learning, while the concepts presented keep them challenged. Algebraic ideas are developed in a logical sequence, but in an easy-to-read manner without excessive formalism. Kaufmann develops concepts through examples, and then applies them in a variety of problem-solving situations.
Thousands of students have learned algebra with the Kaufmann Solution-an outstanding array of texts and supplements that offer a totally integrated system of instruction and learning. The first book in Kaufmann's highly successful algebra series, Elementary Algebra, Fifth Edition, develops algebraic concepts through numerous examples, and continuously reinforces those concepts through additional examples and applications in problem-solving situations. Foregoing excessive technical language and formalism, Kaufmann presents algebraic concepts in a simple, straightforward manner, making Elementary Algebra an ideal book to learn and teach from.

Focusing on and reinforcing problem-solving throughout, Kaufmann helps students learn to analyze a word problem by approaching it logically and extracting all its essential mathematical components so that the process of solving a problem can be approached with ease. Kaufmann's proven approach of "learn a skill" then "use a skill to solve equations and inequalities" and finally, "use equations and inequalities to solve word problems" helps students apply their newly learned skills immediately for better comprehension and retention. This is the same approach developed by the author in his highly successful developmental mathematics texts.
BEGINNING ALGEBRA employs a proven, three-step problem-solving approach, learn a skill, use the skill to solve equations, and then use the equations to solve application problems to keep students focused on building skills and reinforcing them through practice. This simple and straightforward approach, in an easy-to-read format, has helped many students grasp and apply fundamental problem-solving skills. The carefully structured pedagogy includes learning objectives, detailed examples to develop concepts, practice exercises, an extensive selection of problem-set exercises, and well-organized end-of-chapter reviews and assessments. The clean and uncluttered design helps keep students focused on the concepts while minimizing distractions. Problems and examples reference a broad array of topics, as well as career areas such as electronics, mechanics, and health, showing students that mathematics is part of everyday life. Also, as recommended by the American Mathematical Association of Two-Year Colleges, many basic geometric concepts are integrated in problem-solving scenarios. The text's resource package anchored by Enhanced WebAssign, an online homework management tool saves instructors time while also providing additional help and skill-building practice for students outside of class.
