About this title

Synopsis:

These experienced authors have been praised for their in-depth explanations and their commitment to avoiding a cookbook approach. Their text addresses three critical issues in teaching college algebra: poor student preparation, the need for thoughtful integration of the graphing calculator, and poor student study skills. Their texts have a strong reputation built on mathematically sound presentation, excellent applications, and on challenging students to develop algebraic, graphical, and verbal mathematical skills. Goodman and Hirsch help students go beyond the mechanics of mathematics to developing a coherent strategy to solving problems.

Synopsis:

Emphasizing visualization, problem solving, and mathematical modeling, this textbook covers the basics of algebra, equations and inequalities, graphs, polynomials, rational and radical functions, exponential and logarithmic functions, systems of linear equations and inequalities, conic sections and nonlinear systems, and sequences and series.
