Emphasizing the usefulness of mathematics, this thorough, extensive revision offers a direct, easy to comprehend treatment of college algebra. The revision was motivated by the need to better prepare students for the mathematics of the next century. The authors' direct approach is sound, yet not so rigorous that it will discourage students.The highly applied approach features many story problems and real life applications. The Gustafson and Frisk style remains, easy to teach from, easy to learn from because of the book's streamlined development of topics, the correct amount of material in each section, and its no-nonsense, straightforward approach.
