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. The authors combine carefully selected pedagogical features and patient explanation to give students a book that preserves the integrity of mathematics, yet does not discourage them with material that is confusing or too rigorous. 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.

Review

"The Gustafson/Frisk text is conversational in tone and has explanations in language closer to 'teacher talk' than most textbooks. This makes the book easier to read and more student-friendly." "The Careers and Mathematics sections are up-to-date and use data effectively to show information which should be of interest to students. What a nice, subtle way to answer the questions, 'What are we ever going to do with this?'!"
