David Cohen's COLLEGE ALGEBRA, Fifth Edition, focuses on teaching mathematics, using a graphical perspective throughout to provide a visual understanding of college algebra. The author is known for his clear writing style and the numerous quality exercises and applications he includes in his respected texts. In this new edition, graphs, visualization of data, and functions are now introduced much earlier and receive greater emphasis. Many sections now contain more examples and exercises involving applications and real-life data. While this edition takes the existence of the graphing calculator for granted, the material is arranged so that one can teach the course with as much or as little graphing utility work as he/she wishes.

Editorial Reviews
Review
"I have never in all of my teaching career in mathematics - 35 years - come across a text with such a wealth and variety of problems to choose from."
"There is a central theme in this text. It is an early introduction to functions. The concept of function once introduced is encountered continuously throughout the balance of the text. I cannot believe that a student could come away from a course that used this book and not be intimately familiar with the notion of a function and its uses."
"The realistic us of modern technologies in this text does not subtract from the main emphasis that the student must be able to think on his or her own at all times. The technology is there to support and explore."

1.0 out of 5 stars
What can you do the school required it....,
By Delmar Messer (Liberty, MO United States) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: College Algebra (with CD-ROM, Make the Grade, and InfoTrac) (Hardcover)
The material is cumbersome from the beginning. Some of the formulas do not have the right answers in the back of the book causing a great deal of confusion to new students of algebra. The book is not user friendly and is poorly put together. Watch out.
