About the Author
Michael Sullivan, III, Joliet Junior College
With training in mathematics, statistics, and economics, Michael Sullivan, III has a varied teaching background that includes 15 years of instruction in both high school and college-level mathematics. He is currently a full-time professor of mathematics at Joliet Junior College. Michael has numerous textbooks in publication, including an Introductory Statistics series, and a Precalculus series, which he writes with his father, Michael Sullivan. Michael believes that his experiences writing texts for college-level math and statistics courses give him a unique perspective as to where students are headed once they leave the developmental mathematics tract. This experience is reflected in the philosophy and presentation of his developmental text series. When not in the classroom or writing, Michael enjoys spending time with his three children, Michael, Kevin, and Marissa, and playing golf. Now that his two sons are getting older, he has the opportunity to do both at the same time!
Kathy Struve, Columbus State Community College
Kathy Struve has been a classroom teacher for nearly 25 years, first at the high school level, and, for the past 13 years, at Columbus State Community College. Kathy emphasizes classroom diversity: diversity of age, learning styles, and previous learning success. She is aware of the challenges of teaching mathematics at a large, urban community college, where students have varied mathematics backgrounds, and may enter college with a high level of mathematics anxiety. Kathy served as Lead Instructor of the Developmental Algebra sequence at Columbus State where she developed curriculum and provided leadership to adjunct faculty in implementing graphing calculator technology in the classroom. She has authored classroom activities at the Elementary Algebra, Intermediate Algebra, and College Algebra levels and conducted workshops at local, state, and national conferences on both integrating graphing calculator applications into the curriculum and developing varied forms of assessment. This textbook incorporates her 25 years of experience in addressing the individual needs of students.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Everyday Algebra Book,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Intermediate Algebra (2nd Edition) (Hardcover)
Book arrived early in great condition. Book contains answers to selected algebra exercises in the back for your review, but do not expect all of the answers to be correct. Answers could have benefited from better editing by the publisher. Some of the suggested terminology may be of questionable value too. This book is not worth the excessive cost. If required by your professor, please complain loudly. Algebra has not changed over the decades. So, your professor could have recommended any old textbook on the same subject, costing $30 or less. Better yet, the math department should have developed and/or recommended online course content for free consumption on such an age old subject matter.

This is a good book to study with and the extra videos are also helpful. They make it easy to understand the concepts.

wrong book pictured, wrong edition,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Intermediate Algebra: Student Solutions Manual (Paperback)
Don't be mislead like I was!! The book shown for these listings is the solutions manual for the 2nd edition, which is what I wanted. I recieved the book in great time, but it is for the old and 1st edition, which doesn't help me at all. Total waste of time and money.
