Essentials of College Algebra, Global Edition + MyLab Mathematics with Pearson eText (Package)

Steadfast Support for Your Evolving Course.

Essentials of College Algebra, Eleventh Edition, by Lial, Hornsby, Schneider, and Daniels, develops both the conceptual understanding and the analytical skills necessary for success in mathematics. With the Eleventh Edition, the authors have adapted and updated the program for the evolving student. New co-author Callie Daniels brings her experience with traditional, hybrid, and online courses, to create a suite of resources to support today's learners.

This program provides a better teaching and learning experience-for you and your students. Here's how:

• Support for learning concepts: a systematic approach is used to present each topic, and is designed to actively engage students in the learning process. The variety of exercise types promotes understanding of the concepts and reduces the opportunity for rote memorization.
• Support for review and test preparation: ample opportunities for review are interspersed throughout and at the end of chapters.
• Support for all classroom types: a complete suite of instructional materials includes updates to MyMathLab® making it easier for instructors to prepare for the course and leads to greater student success, regardless of setting.

This package includes MyMathLab®, an online homework, tutorial, and assessment program designed to work with this text to personalize learning and improve results. With a wide range of interactive, engaging, and assignable activities, students are encouraged to actively learn and retain tough course concepts.

MyMathLab should only be purchased when required by an instructor. Please be sure you have the correct ISBN and Course ID. Instructors, contact your Pearson representative for more information.
