Review
"[Gustafson and Frisk's College Algebra] has definitely lived up to my expectations. It is a very good book, with a lot of examples that are worked as an illustration. It also has a lot of exercise problems for the students to work out so that the students can develop a strong foundation in this subject."
"The textbook is organized in a clear manner that is easy to find the important points by glancing through the sections. The use of different colors helps the students to focus on important details."
"When reviewing the texts, we found that Gustafson/Frisk stacked up best against the competition. It was very easy to follow, had a good writing style, was at the appropriate level and was accessible to the students. When I taught the class using the book, I found it to be an excellent book to teach from, and the students seemed to like it as well."
"The Gustafson/Frisk text is conversational in tone and has explanations in language closer to 'teacher talk' than most textbooks. This makes the book easier to read and more student-friendly." "The Careers and Mathematics sections are up-to-date and use data effectively to show information which should be of interest to students. What a nice, subtle way to answer the questions, 'What are we ever going to do with this?'!"
