[null,null,null,"Sommario/riassunto","Steadfast Support for Your Evolving Course.  Essentials of College Algebra, Eleventh Edition, by Lial, Hornsby, Schneider, and Daniels, develops both the conceptual understanding and the analytical skills necessary for success in mathematics. With the Eleventh Edition, the authors have adapted and updated the program for the evolving student, New co-author Callie Daniels brings her experience with traditional, hybrid, and online courses, to create a suite of resources to support today's learners.  This program provides a better teaching and learning experience-for you and your students. Here's how:  Support for learning concepts: a systematic approach is used to present each topic, and is designed to actively engage students in the learning process. The variety of exercise types promotes understanding of the concepts and reduces the opportunity for rote memorization.  Support for review and test preparation: ample opportunities for review are interspersed throughout and at the end of chapters. MyMathLab® is not included. Students, if MyMathLab is a recommended/mandatory component of the course, please ask your instructor for the correct ISBN. MyMathLab should only be purchased when required by an "]
