Intermediate Algebra, 1e, authored by Sherri Messersmith presents
content in bite-size pieces, focusing not only on learning
mathematical concepts, but also explaining the why behind those
concepts. For students, learning mathematics is not just about the
memorization of concepts and formulas, but it is also about the
journey of learning how to problem solve. By breaking the sections
down into manageable chunks, the author has identified the core
places where students traditionally struggle, and then assists them
in understanding that material to be successful moving forward.
Proven pedagogical features, such as You Try problems after each
example, reinforce a student's mastery of a concept. While teaching
in the classroom, Messersmith has created worksheets for each
section that fall into three categories: review worksheets/basic
skills, worksheets to teach new content, and worksheets to
reinforce/pull together different concepts. These worksheets are a
great way to both enhance instruction and to give the students more
tools to be successful in studying a given topic. The author is
also an extremely popular lecturer, and finds it important to be in
the video series that accompany her texts. Finally, the author
finds it important to not only provide quality, but also an
abundant quantity of exercises and applications. The book is
accompanied by numerous useful supplements, including McGraw-Hill's
online homework management system, MathZone as well as ALEKS.
MESSERSMITH is rigorous enough to prepare students for the next
level yet easy to read and understand. The exposition is written as
if a professor is teaching in a lecture to be more accessible to
students. The language is mathematically sound yet easy enough for
students to understand.
