Marge Lial was always interested in math; it was her favorite subject in the first grade! Marge's intense desire to educate both her students and herself has inspired the writing of numerous best-selling textbooks.
Marge is an avid reader and traveler. Her travel experiences often find their way into her books as applications, exercise sets, and feature sets.
She is particularly interested in archeology. Trips to various digs and ruin sites have produced some fascinating problems for her textbooks involving such topics as the building of Mayan pyramids and the acoustics of ancient ball courts in the Yucatan. When John Hornsby enrolled as an undergraduate at Louisiana State University, he was uncertain whether he wanted to study mathematics, education, or journalism.
His ultimate decision was to become a teacher, but after twenty-five years of teaching at the high school and university levels and ten years of writing mathematics textbooks, both of his goals have been realized. His love for teaching and for mathematics is evident in his passion for working with students and fellow teachers as well. His specific professional interests are recreational mathematics, mathematics history, and incorporating graphing calculators into the curriculum. John's personal life is busy as he devotes time to his family wife Gwen, and sons Chris, Jack, and Josh.
He has been a rabid baseball fan all of his life. John's other hobbies include numismatics the study of coins and record collecting. He loves the music of the s and has an extensive collection of the recorded works of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons. David Schneider has taught mathematics at universities for over 34 years and has authored 36 books. During most of his professional career, he was on the faculty of the University of Maryland College Park.
His hobbies include travel, dancing, bicycling, and hiking. We're sorry! We don't recognize your username or password. Please try again.

Description Focusing on helping students to develop both the conceptual understanding and the analytical skills necessary to experience success in mathematics , we present each mathematical topic in this text using a carefully developed learning system to actively engage students in the learning process. Real-Life Applications We are always on the lookout for interesting data to use in real-life applications.
As a result, we have updated or incorporated many new applied examples and exercises from fields such as business, pop culture, sports, life sciences, and environmental studies that show the relevance of algebra to daily life. Applications that feature mathematical modeling are labeled with a Modeling head. All applications are titled, and a comprehensive Index of Applications is included at the back of the text. Use of Technology As in the previous edition, we have integrated the use of graphing calculators where appropriate, although graphing technology is not a central feature of this text.
We continue to stress that graphing calculators are an aid to understanding and that students must master the underlying mathematical concepts first. We have included graphing calculator solutions for selected examples and continue to mark all graphing calculator notes and exercises that use graphing calculators with an icon for easy identification and added flexibility.
This graphing calculator material is optional and can be omitted without loss of continuity. Cautions and Notes We often give students warnings of common errors and emphasize important ideas in Caution and Note comments that appear throughout the exposition. Looking Ahead to Calculus These margin notes offer glimpses of how the algebraic topics currently being studied are used in calculus.
Connections This boxed feature provides connections to the real world or to other mathematical concepts, historical background, and thought-provoking questions for writing, class discussion, or group work.
Relating Concepts Exercises Appearing in selected exercise sets, these sets of problems help students tie together topics and develop problem-solving skills as they compare and contrast ideas, identify and describe patterns, and extend concepts to new situations. Algebra for College Students, 9th Edition. Margaret L. This package includes MyLab Math. Balancing skills and concepts The Lial Developmental Algebra Series uses a teacherly writing style and a careful blend of skills development and conceptual questions to meet the unique needs of the developmental math student.
By combining trusted author content with digital tools and a flexible platform, MyLab Math personalizes the learning experience and improves results for each student.

About the Book Balancing skills and concepts for the developmental student A teacherly writing style walks students through key points of understanding with the aim of readability for the developmental math student.
Examples with pointers provide tips from the authors for on-the-spot notes and cautions about common pitfalls. Now Try Exercises are included as a parallel margin exercise for each numbered example. These exercises immediately apply and reinforce the concepts and skills presented in corresponding examples. Expanded - Concept Check exercises have been increased in this revision.
A type of Concept Check exercise, What Went Wrong exercises, have more than doubled in this revision. These ask students to determine an error in a worked problem, to ensure that they understand common mistakes and realize why those errors are incorrect.
Identifying and correcting a mistake requires a higher level of critical thinking. Expanded - Relating Concepts exercises have been increased in the revision. Relating Concepts exercise sets tie the topics together and highlight the relationships among various concepts and skills. They work well for individual or group work. These are assignable in MyLab Math. Summary exercises are carefully placed in every chapter to provide students with the all-important mixed review problems they need to master topics.
Summaries of solution methods or additional examples are often included. Additional exercises types include Extending Skills exercises, applications, matching, and fill-in-the-blank problems, all with the aim of arming students with a solid understanding of skills and concepts.
End of chapter material offers ample opportunity for review. Test Your Word Power exercises in each Chapter Summary help students master mathematical vocabulary, so often a hurdle at this level. Chapter Tests include a fully worked out video solution for every exercise in the Chapter Test. Resources to support any classroom Updated - The extensive video program is updated to be as current as possible: An updated section lecture program covers every section of the text.
