Title overview

For courses in College Algebra & Trigonometry

The College Algebra series by Lial, Hornsby, Schneider, and Daniels combines the experience of master teachers to help students develop the balance of conceptual understanding and analytical skills needed to succeed in mathematics. The Review chapter has been expanded to cover the basic algebra concepts that students often find most challenging. 

Pearson MyLab is the world's leading online self-study, homework, tutorial and assessment product designed with a single purpose in mind: to improve the results of all higher education students, one student at a time.

To access the MyLab you need a Course ID from your instructor.
