Synopsis
Known for its clear, "no-nonsense" explanations as well as mathematical accuracy, Gustafson has long been counted amount the tried-and-true algebra texts. The fifth edition has been substantially revised and now features not only new pedagogy-self checks, vocabulary and concept exercises-but also a new design and a new ancillary package-videos, and interactive tutorial software. Long-time Gustafson users will appreciate the updates made while non-users now have plenty of reasons to take a closer look.

Review
"The method in which Gustafson introduces graphing in general is outstanding. What is truly unique from what I have seen is the introduction of non-linear graphs so early. It will let students know that graphs are more than just straight lines."
"The Self-Check boxes are very worthwhile because of the instant feedback which they give."
