Learn more about Nabble's security policy. We currently use Hubbard’s Elementary Algebra: Discovery and Visualization and have been told that it is not going to be revised. We are searching for a book with a similar approach; one that integrates that TI-83, 84 substantially – not as an optional piece. Is anyone aware of a textbook for elementary algebra I and II that integrates the graphing technology heavily alongside an algebraic approach, i.e. solving equations both graphically and algebraically or using the graph and table feature to evaluate algebraic expressions or using a graphing approach to solve linear inequalities?

	Re: Elementary Algebra textbook by Cindy Erickson :: Rate this Message: Reply to Author \| View Threaded \| Show Only this Message Re: Elementary Algebra textbook Hello, You might try “Elementary Algebra – Graphs and Authentic Applications” by Jay Lehmann (publisher — Pearson). It’s brand new or will be coming soon. I use his Intermediate Algebra and I love that book. The Elementary has a similar approach, I think, and also comes with a set of Labs about Climate Change.
