Bittinger M.L., Beecher J.A. Developmental Mathematics: College Mathematics and Introductory Algebra

8th Edition. — Addison Wesley, 2011. — 1280 pages.The Bittinger series changed the face of developmental education with the introduction of objective-based worktexts that presented math one concept at a time. This approach allowed readers to understand the rationale behind each concept before practicing the associated skills and then moving on to the next topic. With this revision, Marv Bittinger continues to focus on building success through conceptual understanding, while also supporting readers with quality applications, exercises, and new review and study materials to help students apply and retain their knowledge.
