We are using the same book for both, but not really combining the two
courses. Simply our Math 102 covers chapters 1-6; Math 132 covers
chapters 7-14 (Elementary=math 102; intermediate=math132). We have no
data on any changes it has made. [I don't teach those courses at our
college, so I can't add to much, but if you have specific questions I
could ask those who do.
