Description The Blitzer Algebra Series combines mathematical accuracy with an engaging, friendly, and often fun presentation for maximum student appeal. Outstanding applications put learning into context for students. Blitzer creates riveting applications that show students the relevance of math.
Newly-revised application-based Chapter and Section Opening Scenarios motivate each section topic and enliven the section material with a real-world application.
Each scenario is revisited in an example, discussion, or exercise. Extensive exercise sets offers several types of exercises. This variety makes it easy to create well-rounded homework assignments: Practice Exercises gives students the opportunity to practice the concepts they have just learned. Practice Plus Problems are more challenging exercises that require students to combine several skills or concepts.
Application Exercises put concepts into a real-world scenario, giving students an opportunity see how math is applicable to life. Writing in Mathematics exercises ask students to explain terms and concepts in their own words, helping them to develop a mathematical vocabulary.
Technology Exercises are optional exercises requiring the use of a graphing utility; many connect back to the Using Technology boxes in the section. Critical Thinking Exercises stretch student thinking by taking concepts one step further while asking students to draw conclusions and justify answers. Preview Exercises help students prepare for the following section by previewing the concepts that they will soon encounter. New to This Edition.
New and Updated Features : New Applications and Real World Data have been incorporated in this revision, with worked-out examples and application exercises based on new data sets from a variety of books, magazines, newspapers, almanacs, and Web sites. Revised opening scenarios begin each chapter and section with a real-world application. These scenarios are revisited throughout the chapter in examples, exercises, and discussions.
The often humorous tone helps fearful and reluctant students overcome their negative perceptions about math. Many new examples and exercises include detailed, worked-out examples involving new data, new application exercises, new Make Sense discussion exercises, new preview exercises, and new exercises that appear in various other categories.
If a statement is false, students are asked to make the necessary changes to produce a true statement. Preview Exercises at the end of each section review concepts that students will need to be successful in the coming section. Model comparison exercises ask students whether values obtained from mathematical models under- or overestimate the data obtained from graphs, and if so, by how much.
New and Updated in MyMathLab: Exercise coverage has been substantially increased over the previous edition. English and Spanish captioning is now available on all videos. An Interactive Spanish glossary has been included.
Content Updates : Section 1. Introducing the use of variables to represent numbers allows students to understand how algebra is used to model data. Connections between data and graphing are made through the use of bar and line graphs.
The rectangular coordinate system is no longer introduced in Chapter 1—the models that appear throughout the early chapters are all displayed using bar and line graphs. This leads to a fluid transition into rectangular coordinates, introduced in Chapter 3 when students begin graphing linear equations. Section 1. Section 2. Section 3. The section focuses exclusively on linear equations, postponing discussions on graphing of nonlinear equations until Chapter 5 Exponents and Polynomials.
Section 4. Section 5. Section 8. This gradual approach allows for a discussion of functions represented by tables in Section 8. Section 9. Instructors are given the option of solving absolute value inequalities using boundary points or by the more traditional method of rewriting as equivalent compound inequalities.
Section New examples appear throughout the section to ensure adequate coverage of each category. A new appendix on Mean, Median, and Mode has been added.

Many of these applications involve topics relevant to college students, such as the earnings of college graduates and political orientation of freshmen. Other applications tackle larger issues such as participation in presidential elections and the pay gap.
Blitzer Bonuses in the text provide interesting connections to the math at hand, showing students that math is a dynamic discipline applicable to the real world.
Interesting topics include how to conceptualize how much the national debt is, and comparing our global population growth to our global food supply. These videos can be used in class to facilitate a lecture and are assignable with corresponding assessment exercises to ensure that students watched the video and understood the topic at hand.
NEW - Animations in MyLab Math , powered by GeoGebra, encourage conceptual understanding of algebraic topics by encouraging hands-on manipulation and exploration. Corresponding assessment exercises make them assignable, and check that students understand the main takeaway of each animation. Great Question! Answers to the questions offer suggestions for problem solving, point out common errors to avoid, and provide informal hints and suggestions.
Explanatory Voice Balloons translate algebraic ideas into everyday English, help clarify problem-solving procedures, present alternative ways of understanding concepts, and connect problem-solving strategies to concepts students have already learned. Check Point exercises after every example make the text more interactive by offering students the opportunity to test their understanding of the example by working a similar exercise.
Answers to all of the Check Points are in the answer section. Growth mindset-focused videos and exercises encourage students to maintain a positive attitude about learning, value their own ability to grow, and view mistakes as a learning opportunity.
