This fifth edition of an algebra text has a new open format and expanded graphics which enforce concepts. Through an informal, active writing style and the use of numerous pedagogical aids, such as examples with matched problems, annotations, think boxes, chapter summaries and cumulative reviews, the text guides students of varied mathematical backgrounds to a point where they can profitably begin a study of applied calculus, computer science and statistics, and certain technical courses. There is a balanced presentation of theory, computational skills, and applications which exposes the student to a thorough understanding of the mathematics, its concepts, skills and use. Responding to the increasing popularity of graphing calculators in mathematics courses, numerous exercises that exploit the capabilities of these calculators have been added to this edition. Other new features include many illustrative examples, new and varied problems, and new and updated applications.

Needs something,
By Christina Francis (Kansas City, MO) - See all my reviews
This review is from: College Algebra (Hardcover)
This text isn't awful, but it does jump into things a bit quickly for someone who hasn't taken algebra for about a decade. If you need to use this text as part of a college program, I definitely recommend "Forgotten Algebra", ISBN 0812019423 as a refresher (or suppliment) before tackling this text. It will be well worth the extra [money] spent!

This review is from: College Algebra (Hardcover)
College Algebra is well written. The concepts of algebra are thoroughly explained and illustrated with examples. Answers to half the problems are included in the back of the book.
