My daughter was enrolled in an on-line college course in college algebra which used this text. I had taken college algebra many years ago but didn't want to rely on my memory of the material to try to assist her, so I purchased the subject text from . I was surprised at how well this text presented the material. The text is easy to understand and covers the material very well with numerous examples and the necessary proofs. I highly recommend this text to anyone interested in studying the material.
Love the amount of real world applications that come with this book. This book is precise and to the point. Book is designed to go at a fast pace, if you were to work out problems in this book on a daily basis for a couple hours , you would finish the book with ease in about 2 and a half weeks. This book is the easiest read I have encountered as far as math books go. Im definitely sticking with these authors as far as the rest of my math courses go. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone. If you are planning to go into calculus, I would advise that you buy the precalc book from the same authors since it has everything in the college algebra book plus trigonometry.
I've assisted my kids with learning Math all through their school years and in college too. By far this is the easiest book to understand. The methods of teaching Algebra have changed numerous times over the years, but this book states it plain and simple. If you haven't studied Algebra in twenty years, or it's a subject that intimidates you, this book will help you.
This books is perfectly written offering detailed examples with multiple resolution technikes as well as explained to the point answers with every problem, offers no room for doubts because explanations are clear and understandable.
Great review of college algebra. A good coverage of the general college algebra topics without all the unnecessary depth that just gets to be confusing. A good book to have on hand as a future reference. I did not receive a discount on this product in exchange for my honest and unbiased review. For almost all my purchases I rely on reviews before deciding whether or not I make the purchase. I tend to ignore the reviews about a product where the reviewer raves about an item without giving clear reasons for their conclusions. I likewise pay close attention to reviews that are critical of an item. Customers that are unhappy tend to have a greater motivation to leave a review than does a happy customer. Customers leaving a critical review are often writing out of frustration because they had a bad experience, and they will often point out concerns that are valid that positive reviewers may often glaze over or even ignore. With all reviews, I encourage you to read between the lines. If the review is totally generic and the words could be written for any product then I suggest that you ignore that review. I find reviews often quite valuable, so I strive to leave valuable reviews. If my review helped you in anyway, please take a second to click âYesâ this review helped me.
I purchased this book when I started college after being out of school for over 10 years; I needed a book to use as a refresher for basic math concepts. Though the book provides details examples to help you solve the problems, it does not provide answers to the math problems in the back of the book to check your answer. I think it is important to know if you are answering the equations correctly so this book isn't a good resource. The book arrived on time and in good condition.
I payed about $10 to $15 more to rent the textbook with the MathLabPlus, and I assumed that since I was paying more I would receive an access code. Needless to say, I still ended up paying an additional $70 for an access code. In all, I paid $140 to rent the book and to buy a new access code. I would have been better off buying this textbook with the MathLabsPlus! If you don't need an access code then you would be better off renting the book.
This book was required for my daughter's College Algebra class. It's ok, but isn't the best at explaining how to do certain types of problems. Luckily for my daughter, we have several other kids older than her who have done well in college math who can help her with the tougher concepts. She aced the class.
