Algebra with Trigonometry for College Students

This text provides thorough coverage of intermediate algebra combined with an introduction/review of trigonometry in the last three chapters. An early introduction to graphing allows for a wide variety of graphing problems to be presented throughout the text. All operations with fractions are covered in Chapter 1 to provide a background for fractions throughout the text as well. Color-coded pedagogy includes boxed definitions and bold-faced terms. Application exercises in almost every section of the text develop problem-solving skills, while "One Step Further" problems present more demanding exercises to challenge students. Section end and Chapter end Review problems and Chapter Summaries with examples continually reinforce skills and Chapter Tests help students assess their mastery of skills.
