College Algebra with Intermediate Algebra: A Blended Course is an innovative new program from the Beecher author team. Designed to meet the changing needs of students and instructors in Intermediate Algebra and College Algebra courses, this program eliminates the repetition in topic coverage across the traditional 2-course sequence. The result is a streamlined course experience that makes better use of time and resources. The careful arrangement of topics motivates students and creates a solid foundation of knowledge. This streamlined approach is complemented by the authors' innovative ability to help students “see the math” through their focus on visualization, early introduction to functions and graphing, and making connections between math concepts and the real world.
