The classic in the series of highly respected Swokowski/Cole mathematics texts retains the elements that have made it so popular with instructors and students alike: its exposition is clear, the time-tested exercise sets feature a variety of applications, its uncluttered layout is appealing, and the difficulty level of problems is appropriate and consistent. The goal of this text is to prepare students for further courses in mathematics. This book is set apart from the competition in a number of ways: it is mathematically sound, it focuses on preparing students for further courses in mathematics, and it has excellent problem sets. This edition has been improved in many respects. All of the chapters include numerous technology inserts with specific keystrokes for the TI-83 Plus and the TI-86, ideal for students who are working with a calculator for the first time. The new design of the text makes the technology inserts easily identifiable, so if a professor prefers to skip these sections it is simple to do so.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Hard, but good,
By Fancypants (Toronto, Ontario, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Algebra and Trigonometry with Analytic Geometry (with CD-ROM, Make the Grade, and InfoTrac) (Hardcover)
I use this book for my tenth grade algerbra 2 honours class. It has very good examples and is very thourough with the information. However, we never go beyond halfway through the practice problems because after the first ten or so sets, the problems are so challenging and difficult, it becomes a time waster to spend all our time going over such hard equations. It is a very good textbook, and the CD is handy.
