Basic College Mathematics - With CD (6TH 09 - Old Edition)by John Tobey
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments: The Tobey/Slater series builds essential skills one at a time by breaking the mathematics down into manageable pieces. This practical “building block” organization makes it easy for readers to understand each topic and gain confidence as they move through each section. The authors provide a “How am I Doing?” guide to give readers constant reinforcement and to ensure that they understand each concept before moving on to the next. With Tobey/Slater, readers have a tutor and study companion with them every step of the way. Whole Numbers, Fractions, Decimals, Ratio and Proportion, Percent, Measurement, Geometry, Statistics, Signed Numbers, Introduction to Algebra, Consumer Finance Applications, Tables, Scientific Calculators. For all readers interested in basic college mathematics. Synopsis:When the answer at the back of the book is simply not enough, then you need the Student Solutions Manual. With fully worked-out solutions to all odd-numbered text problems, the Student Solutions Manual lets you "learn by example" and see the mathematical steps required to reach a solution. Worked-out problems included in the Solutions Manual are carefully selected from the textbook as representative of each section's exercise sets so you can follow-along and study more effectively. The Student Solutions Manual is simply the fastest way to see your mistakes, improve learning, and get better grades.
