Review

"I like [the Side-by-Side Examples] a lot. I often do this during my lectures so it is nice to see it in a textbook. Some students NEED to see the visual/graphical solution to truly understand the problem and its answer."

"The geometry and physics applications provide good training for students planning to continue in the upper level math courses; whereas, the day-to-day applications (business, weather, home life, etc.) make the math useful to those students who will not continue beyond College Algebra. There are different levels of rigor as well, which allows an instructor to tailor assignments based on which majors are enrolled in individual sections."
