Publisher's Synopsis
Developmental Mathematics, Fifth Edition, is a comprehensive text intended for use by students needing a review in arithmetic skills before covering introductory algebra topics. The text begins with a review of arithmetic concepts, and then develops statistics, geometry, and introductory algebra. It is designed for use in combined (two-semester) courses and to prepare students for statewide or local mathematics proficiency exams. All the math objectives on the Texas Academic Skills Program test (TASP) are incorporated in this edition, as are the majority of topics on other state tests. The TASP version of the text will have a sample of the TASP test. As part of MathMax: The Bittinger System of Instruction, it is accompanied by a comprehensive and well-integrated supplements package to provide maximum support for both instructor and student.
