Author Description

For courses in College Algebra. Prepare. Visualize. Succeed. College Algebra, 5th Edition helps students “see the math” through a focus on visualization and early introduction to functions, which allows for the use of graphs to provide a visual aspect to solving equations and inequalities. In addition, specific features enable students to visualize and make connections between concepts. The author team has expanded and enhanced the instruction on review topics needed for today's corequisite courses, or simply for students who come to the course underprepared; ongoing review features throughout reinforce the concepts and help students build understanding.
