Focusing on and reinforcing problem-solving throughout, Kaufmann and Schwitters help students learn to analyze a word problem by approaching it logically and extracting all its essential mathematical components so that the process of solving a problem can be approached with ease. The authors' proven approach of "learn a skill" then "use a skill to solve equations and inequalities" and finally, "use equations and inequalities to solve word problems" helps students apply their newly learned skills immediately for better comprehension and retention. This is the same approach used by the authors in their highly successful developmental mathematics texts.

"The exercise sets are great--they range from easy to difficult and provide practice on skills taught by the examples in each section." "The rigor of this text is appropriate for a course that could lead a student into a calculus course. Some of the proofs and challenge problems included would make great group discussion topics. For those students that are not going to take calculus, there are enough other exercises to help them practice their skills in preparation for other fields."
This freshman textbook explains how to solve equations and inequalities, develop graphing techniques, and use the concept of a function. The sixth edition adds 170 new problems and introduces polynomial and rational functions before exponential and logarithmic functions. The CD-ROM contains video instruction for each chapter, a graphing calculator
