The Sullivan/Struve/Mazzarella Algebra Series was written to motivate students to “;do the math”; outside of the classroom through a design and organization that models what you do inside the classroom. The left-to-right annotations in the examples provide a teacher’s voice through every step of the problem-solving process. The Sullivan exercise sets, which begin with Quick Checks to reinforce each example, present problem types of every possible derivation with a gradual increase in difficulty level. The new “;Do the Math”; Workbook acts as a companion to the text and to MyMathLab by providing short warm-up exercises, guided practice examples, and additional “;Do the Math”; practice exercises for every section of the text. Operations on Real Numbers and Algebraic Expressions; Equations and Inequalities in One Variable; Introdu

The Sullivan/Struve/Mazzarella Algebra program is designed to motivate students to “do the math”– at home or in the lab–and supports a variety of learning environments. The text is known for its two-column example format that provides annotations to the left of the algebra. These annotations explain what the authors are about to do in each step (instead of what was just done), just as an instructor would do.
