The Miller/O'Neill/Hyde author team continues to offer an enlightened
approach grounded in the fundamentals of classroom experience in
Beginning Algebra 4e. The text reflects the compassion and insight of
its experienced author team with features developed to address the
specific needs of developmental level students. Throughout the text, the
authors communicate to students the very points their instructors are
likely to make during lecture, and this helps to reinforce the concepts
and provide instruction that leads students to mastery and success. Also
included are Problem Recognition Exercises, designed to help students
recognize which solution strategies are most appropriate for a given
exercise. These types of exercises, along with the number of practice
problems and group activities available, permit instructors to choose
from a wealth of problems, allowing ample opportunity for students to
practice what they learn in lecture to hone their skills. In this way,
the book perfectly complements any learning platform, whether
traditional lecture or distance-learning; its instruction is so
reflective of what comes from lecture, that students will feel as
comfortable outside of class as they do inside class with their
instructor.
