In the ever-evolving landscape of educational materials, the latest editions of Developmental Mathematics, Preparation for College Mathematics, and Algebra for College Students have been improved to support today’s learners with expanded exercise sets, additional context, example- and lesson-level videos, and more. Let’s dive into the key enhancements that make these editions a valuable asset for both students and instructors.
Developmental Mathematics, 3rd Edition & Preparation for College Mathematics, 3rd Edition
Developmental Mathematics and Preparation for College Mathematics cover a wide breadth of introductory material from prealgebra to conic sections. Designed for use in a 2- or 3-semester course, this holistic approach offers potential cost savings by eliminating the need for multiple textbooks.
- Emphasis on Real-World Applications: In the latest editions, 700+ application-based software questions and 1600+ application-based textbook exercises work in conjunction with two projects in each chapter to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical math skills.
- 260+ NEW questions in the student software offer better coverage of course content
- Every lesson and example has corresponding videos in the student software, providing a visual aid to enhance comprehension.
- Every textbook example has a corresponding margin exercise to immediately test students’ understanding of what was taught in the example.
- Robust Exercise Sets: Over 10,000 textbook exercises offer ample opportunities for students to practice and master newly acquired skills.
- 10,236 exercises in Developmental Mathematics
- 10,277 exercises in Preparation for College Mathematics
- 100+ new side bars offer an improved student learning experience with additional information such as math tips, historical context, and more.
- Strategies for Academic Success: This chapter has been updated and restructured to emphasize time and stress management methods for success in a developmental math course with 6 lessons and 25 new software questions.
Not sure the difference between these two titles? While the content covered in each of these developmental-level titles is essentially identical, the key differentiator between the two titles lies in the order of topics covered. Do you introduce integers early in the semester or later? When do you introduce equations and how to solve them? Based on questions like these, our Hawkes experts can match you with the title that best suits your teaching methods and course structure. Chat with a rep here.
Algebra for College Students, 7th Edition
This seventh edition offers a seamless transition from prealgebra to advanced algebra, ensuring that students build a rock-solid foundation for success in credit-bearing courses. This title is designed to help students progress through their coursework at an accelerated pace while prioritizing a comprehensive understanding of key concepts. Students don’t just scratch the surface, but master algebraic concepts and skills thanks to the following features:
- Strategies for Academic Success: A new addition to the seventh edition, this dedicated chapter equips students with valuable study skills, time management, and more.
- Emphasis on Applications:
- 2 NEW application projects for every chapter, enhancing the practical relevance of algebraic concepts. These projects engage students in practical problem-solving, fostering a deeper understanding of the material.
- 260+ NEW application-focused questions in the software question bank, highlighting the importance of applying concepts to real-world scenarios
- Every lesson and example has corresponding videos in the student software, providing a visual aid to enhance comprehension.
- Every textbook example has a corresponding margin exercise to immediately test students’ understanding of what was taught in the example.
- Robust Exercise Sets: With, 6,800 textbook exercises and nearly 3,000 unique software questions, (approximately 1,300 of which are new to this edition) Algebra for College Students provides ample practice opportunities.
- Intermediate Algebra Topics: As the highest level offering of the developmental algebra titles, Algebra for College Students introduces several topics that are not found in Developmental Mathematics or Preparation for College Mathematics including:
- Sets
- Determinants
- Sequences
- Series
- The Binomial Theorem
- Permutations
- Combinations
All three of these new editions prioritize the application of mathematical concepts in real-world scenarios. With robust exercise sets, multimedia resources, and additional content, these textbooks are powerful tools that help students build a solid mathematical foundation and develop essential problem-solving skills.
