Book Overview
This text is written for the combined college algebra and trigonometry course at the freshman level. The first two chapters furnish a review of fundamental topics from intermediate algebra that is presented so it can be covered thoroughly, briefly reviewed, or skipped completely, depending on the needs of the students. Trigonometry is covered in Chapters 7-9 and is introduced through the right-triangle approach in Sec. 7. 1. The emphasis of the text is to help students think critically and to discover how algebra applies to the world around them. In order to make the material more relevant, an abundance of applications can be found in the examples as well as the exercises sets. A full-colour design highlights key equations, rules and procedures for problem solving. The colour of a graph corresponds to the colour of its equation so students can clearly distinguish between the graphs of more than one equations, The authors' treatment of functions is unusually rich in applications. Inverse functions (Sec. 4.6) are introduced after conic sections so that students will have had more experience with graphing and can more easily visualise this concept.

A college student from MCPV
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
This book may be expensive but is really helpful, not only in class but also as a reference or as a study guide. The language used in this book is simple and the graphics and images easy to understand. For me trigonometry was always a pain and I got an A in the class, so I decided to write a review for future students.
