Publisher's Synopsis
Venit and Bishop proved in their previous two editions that their way of teaching algebra was successful. This clear, down to earth text provides plenty of real-life applications from business, computer science and engineering. The text features "spotlights", relating the material discussed to other disciplines. Key definitions, formulas and information are highlighted. Each chapter ends with a brief synopsis, a list of skills that the students should have acquired, review exercises, self-tests and answers. Computer text and software is available for instructors who wish to integrate computers into the course.
