College Algebra by Lial, Hornsby, Schneider and Daniels channels the experience of master teachers to help you develop the conceptual understanding and analytical skills needed for success in mathematics. The 13th Edition expands the Review chapter to cover more of the basic algebra concepts that often challenge students, with a new section on Fractions, Decimals, and Percents; adds new topics throughout the chapter such as operations with signed numbers and dividing a polynomial by a monomial; and reorganizes topics in the chapter for improved flow. Throughout the text, updates include a new section on Polynomial and Rational Inequalities and much more.
