There is no excuse today not to be culturally respectful. Just as in the classroom we must be on our best behavior to demonstrate cultural awareness and respect, we would expect that most books do not have a problem with this dimension of education.. My thoughts and hopes are that the books would not be published by companies unless they are culturally respectful.
Other comments I could not easily see where I could find examples of computerized homework. I have written to Rice University requesting information about this. Rice responded in a timely fashion that the books do not offer computerized homework, but that there are a few third-party vendors who may offer this.
I researched this. Could not find much. This text provides ample material to cover an Intermediate Algebra course as well as supplemental material for remediation or extension. The on-line text is continually updated and so remains quite current. There is a lag for the printed versions.
I used the text in a remote fashion and found no glitches. It actually was a quite good visual aid. I just finished using the text in an entirely remote fashion. I found it quite useful all the students had a "copy" right from the beginning and I look forward to employing it this fall in a face to face class. Each chapter opens up with a real-life application, outlines the objectives, contains lots of practice problems, key terms and concepts, a review section, and a practice test.
The content matter in this book will not be obsolete within a short period of time. The material can be easily rearranged and implemented to suit different instructor needs.
The text is definitely written with the student in mind. For example, the authors use lots of graphs and tables to help students understand different concepts. The entire book is writtenly consistently from chapter to chapter.
New terms are highlighted at the end of each chapter. The terms are used consistently throughout the book. The text is well designed and organized.
Each section begins with objectives and a mini quiz of previously learned topics. This connects previously learned topics to the new or current topics.
The topics in the text are presented in a logical and clear fashion. The examples and practice problems are developed from easy to difficult. The text is easy to navigate and is free of significant interface issues. The images, graphs, and charts display very well and are not distracting or confusing to the reader.
I found this book very instructor and student friendly. The two things I really like about this book are the pictures at the beginning of each chapter and the mini quizzes before each section. The pictures highlight a real-life application for the topics of that chapter and provide relevancy of what is learned to real life careers.
The mini quizzes review previous topics for mastery and connection to the new topics. The Intermediate Algebra textbook covers 12 topics: Foundations that include all operations with real numbers, Solving Linear Equations and inequalities, Graphs and Functions, Systems of Linear Equations, including matrices, Polynomials, The Intermediate Algebra textbook covers 12 topics: Foundations that include all operations with real numbers, Solving Linear Equations and inequalities, Graphs and Functions, Systems of Linear Equations, including matrices, Polynomials, Factoring, including special products, Rational expressions, Roots and Radicals, Quadratic equations, Exponential and Logarithmic Functions, Conics, Sequences, Series and more.
The textbook is well structured. It is designed for one-semester Algebra course. No need of supplemental materials. There are plenty of examples and problems, including real life problems that could be used for class work and homework.
The Textbook covers standard Algebra topics which are cohesive. Each topic is build upon previously taught material. The content and examples are up to date. The textbook is student-friendly. There are some excellent explanations about working with integers and fractions, a lot of tables and graphs to help students understand different types of functions and how the graph changes when the function is changed.
The textbook is internally consistent. The new terminology and notations are given at the end of each chapter and once introduced are properly used in the following chapters. The Chapters, the different sections and the learning objectives are very clear. There are small quizzes at the beginning of each chapter to prepare the students for the new topic. The text can be easily reorganized for meeting some specific need or requirements. The topics are organized logically and start with the easiest one.
The examples in each topic are also arranged from easy to more challenging. This is a well-done, student-friendly textbook, that I can recommend for Developmental Math courses.
