Great Price "Fundamentals of Algebra and Trigonometry" for $155.25 Today



I do not know about you. But I can study math a lot better if the book has a hard cover. This first chapter assumes you are coming from ground zero and is good to read just to brush up or see if there is anything new, that you missed originally. There is a smooth transition and a gradual complexity as you go from the fundamentals through the subject. Now some people will complain that it is not all practical or applied. This was not designed as a course for practical or applied. However it sure helps when reading other books tat can only explain tings in at least rudimentary math.

Even the fundamentals of trig are needed to follow The Ascent of Man by Jacob Bronowski. Now I call that practical.

Fundamentals of Algebra and Trigonometry Overviews

This classic in the series of highly respected Swokowski/Cole mathematics texts retains the elements that have made it so popular with instructors and students alike: it is clearly written, the time-tested exercise sets feature a variety of applications, its exposition is clear, its uncluttered layout is appealing, and the difficulty level of problems is appropriate and consistent. Now this Ninth Edition of Fundamentals of Algebra and Trigonometry has been improved in three important ways. First, discussions have been rewritten to enable students to more easily understand the mathematical concepts presented. Second, exercises have been added that require students to estimate, approximate, interpret a result, write a summary, create a model, explore, or find a generalization. Third, graphing calculators have been incorporated to a greater extent through the addition of examples and exercises as well as the inclusion of a cross-referenced appendix on the use of the TI-82/83. All of this has been accomplished without compromising the mathematical integrity that is the hallmark of this text.

Customer Review


If it wasn't required for class, I would have returned it. - Kal Arakawa - Denver, Colorado
This book is completely awful. There are VERY FEW EXAMPLES to guide you through new concepts. Instead, the authors substitute jargon-rich and verbose explanations of concepts. Rather than separating out essential formulas and definitions, the book loses essential information amongst pages of blabbering. As a consequence, you will spend hours trying to find the information you are looking for. Problems are titled differently from concepts, leading to more confusion when you try to find the corresponding problem solving method. Problems/Equations differ from those covered in the concept section, and explanations are NOT provided in the text or answers (at back of the book).

If this wasn't required for my online course, I would have returned it. Unfortunately, I can't return my copy now that it's sustained so much damage (from being thrown across the room). I found a much better book for at the corner bookstore. If you need to teach (or re-teach) yourself Algebra, this book will be NOT do the job.
