Book Description

053435159X 978-0534351595 June 1998 6th
This text offers comprehensive, in-depth, and precise coverage of college algebra topics, incorporated into a framework of tested teaching strategy and combined with carefully selected pedagogical features. The book preserves the integrity of the mathematics, yet does not discourage students with material that is confusing or too rigorous. The authors teach students to master difficult problems quickly and to develop skills they'll need in future courses and in everyday life.

2.0 out of 5 stars Don't buy this unless you have to., June 17, 1997
By A Customer
This is a commonly used textbook for college algebra students. Unfortunately, its examples are poorly written and difficult to understand. In addition, some of the math problems are so far from the examples that it is nearly impossible to figure out what you should be doing without an instructor's help.

2.0 out of 5 stars Poor instruction for many practice problems, July 24, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: College Algebra (Hardcover)
The book itself is well laid out and easy to read, but I would avoid purchasing this unless you absolutely need it for a class. Reason is, many of the problems in each chapter have small variances from what is taught in the chapter. In other words, unless you have a solution manual, or a tutor, many of the problems will bewilder you.

I found the book extremely frustrating and relied on tutoring to pass the course. Put simply, this book has some glaring issues.

3.0 out of 5 stars note to buyers, September 4, 1999
By A Customer
The paperback verion is a student solutions manual and study guide, for Gustafson and Frisk's College Algebra. It does not have the same information as the hardback book
