The focus in INTRODUCTORY & INTERMEDIATE ALGEBRA: AN APPLIED APPROACH, 6th EDITION remains on the Aufmann Interactive Method (AIM). Students are encouraged to be active participants in the classroom and in their own studies as they work through the How To examples and the paired Examples and You Try It problems. Student engagement is crucial to success. Presenting students with worked examples, and then providing them with the opportunity to immediately solve similar problems, helps them build their confidence and eventually master the concepts.
Very thorough and a very logical order of presentation

I used this book to teach my community college algebra I and II courses.I found it to be so logical in its presentation, that Iquickly yanked my daughter out of her 7th grade math class (using the incredibly poor Connected Math Series -- see Mathematicallycorrect.com) and decided to home school her in math using this book. She is at the end of 8th grade and by following a program of 20 problems a night she is now completing 10th grade math. She now loves math and understands it thoroughly. There are enough problems to reinforce all concepts.
This is an excellent text for High School & College Levels

This text is well written and easy for students to follow. I would have given this book 5 stars except for a few proofreading errors. As of today, the solutions manual is not yet available, which would certainly support the text. This book can be used in consecutive classes for Into & Intermediate Algebra.
