Over one million students have learned mathematics from Karl Smith's textbooks.
Review
"The strength of the text is that the level of writing and mathematics is appropriate for the students that the course serves at our college. The historical perspectives are insightful. The team projects are a nice feature. The "situation" features are motivational."
"The material is very easy to read, not at all intimidating, and very well organized. This is clearly the best text I have seen geared towards students within whom one can presuppose a weakness in and fear of mathematics."
"Karl Smith does an excellent job of organizing and explaining the concepts, while maintaining a balanced approach to drill and practice on each topic through out the textbook."
