Synopsis

Clearly written and comprehensive, the ninth edition of Gustafson and Frisk's popular book provides in-depth and precise coverage, incorporated into a framework of tested teaching strategy.

Long respected for its ability to help students quickly master difficult problems, this book also helps them develop the skills they'll need in future courses and in everyday life.
