College Algebra - Hardcover

Reseña del editor

Clear and straightforward, College Algebra, Fifth Edition, preserves the integrity of mathematics, yet does not discourage students with material that is confusing or too rigorous. Students with only high school algebra preparation can feel challenged and yet succeed with Gustafson and Frisk's practice problems and drills. Students quickly learn to master difficult problems which previously left them frustrated, and develop the skills they'll need in future courses and everyday life. As the text progresses, the mathematical language grows more mature, examples become less structured, and exercises are more varied in their scope. By the end of the course, students are able to move on their own beyond the course with a firm and usable grasp of mathematics. Problem sets range from drill and practice to others that will challenge even the best students. In order to ensure the accuracy of the text, each author and a problem checker have worked every exercise.
