Overview
For courses in Intermediate Algebra.
Understanding and Applying Mathematical Concepts
The goal of the Bittinger Concepts and Applications Series is to help today’s student learn and retain mathematical concepts. This proven program prepares students for the transition from skills-oriented elementary algebra courses to more concept-oriented college-level mathematics courses. This requires the development of critical-thinking skills: to reason mathematically, to communicate mathematically, and to identify and solve mathematical problems. The new editions support students with a tightly integrated MyLab™ Math course; a strong focus on problem-solving, applications, and concepts, and the robust MyMathGuide workbook and objective-based video program. In addition, new material–developed as a result of the authors’ experience in the classroom, as well as from insights from faculty and students–includes more systematic review and preparation for practice, as well as stronger focus on real-world applications.
Also available with MyLab Math.
MyLab™ Math is an online homework, tutorial, and assessment program designed to work with this text to engage students and improve results. Within its structured environment, students practice what they learn, test their understanding, and pursue a personalized study plan that helps them absorb course material and understand difficult concepts.

When you purchase an eTextbook subscription, it will last 4 months. You can renew your subscription by selecting Extend subscription on the Manage subscription page in My account before your initial term ends.
If you extend your subscription, we'll automatically charge you every month. If you made a one‑time payment for your initial 4‑month term, you'll now pay monthly. To make sure your learning is uninterrupted, please check your card details.
To avoid the next payment charge, select Cancel subscription on the Manage subscription page in My account before the renewal date. You can subscribe again in the future by purchasing another eTextbook subscription.
When you purchase a Channels subscription it will last 1 month, 3 months or 12 months, depending on the plan you chose. Your subscription will automatically renew at the end of your term unless you cancel it.
We use your credit card to renew your subscription automatically. To make sure your learning is uninterrupted, please check your card details.
A Study & Exam Prep subscription includes video lessons, practice problems and other study tools. Get unlimited access to the full range of subjects:
Yes, the Study & Exam Prep Pack's feature is Channels, which can be purchased separately at any time. Simply go to Channels on the Pearson+ site and choose monthly, quarterly, or annual access, separate from your eTextbook subscription. Still deciding? Watch the first six videos free and buy it if you love it (we know you'll love it!).
Currently, they are the exact same offering. 'Study & Exam Prep Pack' is what we call 'Channels' when it is bundled with an eTextbook or bundled with MyLab & Mastering courseware. When purchased on its own, you will see it called Channels, still the same study & exam prep help you need.
