Developmental Mathematics
is written to provide students with a smooth transition
from arithmetic through prealgebra to algebra. This text
is a learning tool that will help students understand the
connections between arithmetic and algebra, develop reasoning
and problem-solving skills, and achieve satisfaction in
learning so that they will be encouraged to continue
their education in mathematics. The writing style gives
carefully worded, thorough explanations that are direct,
easy to understand, and mathematically accurate. The use of color,
boldface, subheadings, and shaded boxes helps students
understand and reference important topics. Each topic is
developed in a straightforward step-by-step manner. Each
section contains many detailed examples to lead students
successfully through the exercises and help them develop
an understanding of the related concepts.
