In this text, algebra and trigonometry are presented as a study of special classes of functions. In the process, relationships betwen theory and real-world applications are thoroughly explored,... This description may be from another edition of this product.
I bought this book to use as a "home copy" for my son's algebra II class. It is a hefty textbook and his school chooses not to buy a class room set. He already has his backpack stuffed to the gills, so for a small sum I lightened his load.
A Good Text

This is a good book. My son used this for his accelerated Algebra course. I bought a copy so I could consult with him while I was travelling. The examples are pretty clear, although they could have had an extra step here and there. I liked the format, and the step-by-step approach throughout each chapter to neet the ultimate goal of each chapter.
The best Honors Algebra II book ever!

I remember using an old edition of this book in high school back in 1993. It made such an impression on me that I still remembered the authors name.This is truly a standout text, just like Thomas Finney Calculus, Klepner Kolencow Mechanics, and a handful of others I would recomend it to anyone!
Excellent High School Honors Algebra Text
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
I used this text in 9th Grade Honors Algebra and found that It is one of the best Algreba texts written. I used Mr. Foerster's Basic Algebra book in 8th grade. His explaniation of the topics were very clear and to the point. His exercises make you think and learn. You could learn Algebra without a teacher with this book. I do not think you could find a better Algebra/Basic Trig text.
Great For an Algebra II Honors Class

This book was used for my 9th grade Algebra II Honors class. Paul A. Foerster uses examples that are connected to the real world, and, at times has made mathematics fun
