For students who have taken an arithmetic or pre-algebra course, this text contains all of the material needed to prepare for college algebra. There is sufficient material for courses of two quarters or in two semesters. The transitional section found between chapters 6 and 7 serves as a mid-book review for students preparing to take a final exam that covers the first seven chapters. For students who enter with a background in algebra, but need a thorough review, this text can be used in a one-term review course.
