Elementary Algebra http://www.totallyfreemath.com/toc.html
Nature is in a constant state of change, with each new development building on what already existed. Elementary Algebra with Applications, Third Edition, follows the same pattern - it develops concepts and ideas as natural extensions of previously learned material. This problem-solving approach leads today's students beyond memorization to a true conceptual understanding.
