Editorial Reviews
Review
"Kaufmann/Schwitters textbook, Algebra for College Students remains to be a good textbook for our students. It is clear in its procedural approach; as well as the number of word problems discussed in each section."
"Quite frankly, I have used Kaufmann/Schwitters for the last three editions. This probably covers the last 8 years or so. I believe it is the most readable, straightforward algebra text on the market. I have examined the others. None compare to this one."
"We found the textbook to be easy to read and there were lots of examples in each section." --This text refers to an alternate Hardcover edition.

I enjoyed the product. It has worked great for my class, and the price beat the bookstore's. I was pleased with the description because it even let me know that it came with the CD. I did not need anything that the book did not have, and it was exactly what I was looking for. Thanks.
