SummaryTable of Contents
This prealgebra text helps prepare students for higher-level math courses by integrating basic algebraic concepts early and continuing to revisit those concepts throughout the text. Student comprehension is aided by the friendly composition and current, relevant applications. Student motivation is increased by immersion in genuine and realistic mathematical situations. This prealgebra text, as a part of the Lial/Hornsby/Miller developmental worktext series, focuses on students by helping them reduce their confusion of symbols for subtraction with negative numbers. The text also clearly demonstrates why the product of two negative numbers is a positive number and explains why letters instead of numbers are used in algebra. This text helps students solve applied problems and increases their proficiency in solving fraction and percent problems.
