Synopsis
Well known for their ''no-nonsense'' approach to mathematics, Gustafson and Frisk present a clean, uncluttered, and easy-to-understand text aimed at providing remedial students with the mathematical knowledge they need to succeed in future math courses or to pass state competency exams. The text covers arithmetic, geometry, and algebra through quadratic equations. Estimation skills, word problems, applications, problem solving, and the integration of geometric concepts are introduced early and run as themes throughout the text. In the thoroughly revised second edition, the authors increase the emphasis on visualizing mathematics through the use of graphing and geometry, and make more use of mathematics in the world around us through realistic applications.
