Intermediate Algebra ISE

The 6th Edition of Intermediate Algebra continues the Miller/O'Neill/Hyde author team's approach in addressing the needs of developmental level students to help them get better results. Content updates include new end-of-section activities, prerequisite review exercises, and new study skills videos. This new edition is available in ALEKS 360. In a single platform, ALEKS provides a balance of adaptive practice for skill mastery and homework, tests, and quizzes for application and assessment so that you can create the assignments your students need to have the best outcome in your course. In addition to content updates to the text, we are continuously adding new features to ALEKS 360–including new video assignments, an enhanced gradebook experience, end-of-chapter questions aligned to the text, and more.
