Synopsis

Leading math educator Jerome Kaufmann continues to raise the standard with College Algebra, Third Edition, a text that shows students how to master even difficult algebra and trigonometry concepts. His practice-proven approach of "learn a skill,", then "use the skill to solve equations and inequalities," and finally "use equations and inequalities to solve word problems" helps students apply newly learned skills immediately for better comprehension and retention. A wealth of examples motivates students and reinforces algebraic concepts by the application of these examples to situations with which students can identify. The examples also guide students in organizing their work logically and using meaningful shortcuts whenever appropriate. The book's many pedagogical features include: "Thoughts into Words" exercises, "Graphing Calculator Activities", "Problem Sets", and "Chapter Tests".
