Leading math educator Jerome Kaufmann continues to raise the standard with College Algebra, Third Edition, a text that shows students how to master even difficult algebra and trigonometry concepts. His practice-proven approach of "learn a skill,", then "use the skill to solve equations and inequalities," and finally "use equations and inequalities to solve word problems" helps students apply newly learned skills immediately for better comprehension and retention. A wealth of examples motivates students and reinforces algebraic concepts by the application of these examples to situations with which students can identify. The examples also guide students in organizing their work logically and using meaningful shortcuts whenever appropriate. The book's many pedagogical features include: "Thoughts into Words" exercises, "Graphing Calculator Activities", "Problem Sets", and "Chapter Tests".

Alex is disappointed when she is assigned to do a social studies project with Eric, the slowest student in the third grade

In 1977, graduate student Irene Pepperberg walked into a pet store and bought a year-old African grey parrot. Because she was going to study him, she decided to call him Alex--short for Avian Learning EXperiment. At that time, most scientists thought that the bigger the brain, the smarter the creature; they studied great apes and dolphins. African greys, with their walnut-sized "birdbrains," were pretty much ignored--until Alex. His intelligence surprised everyone, including Irene. He learned to count, add, and subtract; to recognize shapes, sizes, and colors; and to speak, and understand, hundreds of words. These were things no other animal could do. Alex wasn't supposed to have the brainpower to do them, either. But he did them anyway.Accompanied by Meilo So's stunning illustrations, Alex and Irene's story is one of groundbreaking discoveries about animal intelligence, hard work, and the loving bonds of a unique friendship.
