Book Preface For many students a College Algebra course represents the first opportunity to discover the beauty and practical power of mathematics. Designed by readallbooks. When I had to find a book quickly for a dual enrollment DE class this semester, I began using the book.
The class went well. Students did not have any complaints with not having a book in hand. Now that I have approval from my department chair to run a pilot in Fall , I will have the book in our bookstore for purchase and copies in our library on reserve. There are several support documents in Instructor Resources on OpenStax. One is the Solutions Manual.
I used this regularly, which had good explanations. I did not like the formatting being in Word but it was easy to find what I needed. Also, the site has recorded lectures and notes for you to use. There are two support documents I will definitely use for the pilot, the PowerPoint slides and the Corequisite Skillsheets.
One caution, the PowerPoint slides are not whole presentations but instead are the slides of graphs to embed in your presentations. Since I change all presentations from books to my own style, this is perfect for me. Finally, I cannot wait to utilize the Corequisite Skillsheets that provide a little more background for students who may need that.
Overall, I enjoyed using this book and highly recommend checking it out. I hope you will decide to use it. This book covers all topics and more of a standard Precalculus course.
No errors were found in the online version. An errata document is provided for early editions of the textbook. Many examples from different fields of study are presented. They are classic problems arranged by level of difficulty. In addition, the use of a graphing calculator to model real life data makes the problems interesting and real. The structure of his textbook makes it easy for students to follow the presentations of the topics. Important concepts and formulas are highlighted to promote easy access to information, understanding, and retention of the subject.
The book is organized in a consistent format, common to other Precalculus textbooks, so that its content can be easily accessed by both students and instructors. Topics are clearly explained and organized in subsections. Consistently, introductions and explanations of new concepts are backed up with examples explained in details and extra practice exercises.
PowerPoint slides are also corresponding in pattern with the textbook. Interface is clear and offers a schematic and synthetic representation of the subject. Both textbook and additional resources can be easily located and downloaded. I find course materials to be current, accurate, fair, and inclusive of a diverse population of students. The textbook coveres all possible topics in Precalculus. This is a great resource for Precalculus classes.
Instructors passionate about saving students money should choose this textbook. Highly recommended! The textbook is comprehensive. I've used the Algebra and Trigonometry textbook in a face-to-face co-requisite College Algebra class for 2 years without problems. Most students utilize the textbook digitally. The textbook is set up as a The textbook is set up as a traditional textbook with definitions, examples, objectives, and practice questions.
Very easy to follow. There is a variety of problems to keep the learner engaged. The textbook is helpful for learners who have differing levels of readiness. Applications and word problems are engaging and interesting. The content is up-to-data and relevant. The book does a wonderful job of presenting the material in a logical manner. Diagrams and illustrations are clear and understandable. The book is written in an appropriate manner for learners of varying levels of readiness.
Notations are consistently used throughout the book. The book uses a consistent format for each chapter which assists learners as they use the book.
The textbook can be subdivided into smaller sections. I have changed the order of topics covered to match my individual style of teaching. The subheadings break the material down into logical units so that the instructor can pick and choose topics.
The organization of topics are logically ordered. Topics are revisited, much like a spiral curriculum, where students see concepts in several places. Students are able to see the relevancy of the topics and deepen understanding as the course progresses.
The online version is easy to navigate. Images and charts are clear and do not distract. I like that students who use the online version can click on the Show Solution option to display the answer. This allows the learner to try the problem on their own without seeing the solution. Many of my students routinely use this interactive feature. This is an excellent textbook and is used in more than one course at my institution. It is well written with good flow.
An index or glossary would be a helpful addition to the textbook. I would also like the selection of practice problems to be expanded in varying degree of difficulty so that learners, who are at different levels of readiness, can practice. This book is perfect to teach one semester course. It has all the material that we cover in a semester. I like the book the way it is organized. First, the author explained the theoretical concept, then example and finally the exercise.
I think most of our students need this pattern to succeed the course. I strongly agree that students can easily access the e book and they also can download the pdf version of this book.
I use this text for a semester course. There is more than enough content for a semester course. I doubt there is enough for a full year. Every time that I use this text I change something in the order of the content delivery, and the book is written in a way works. While I still like to have a words-on-paper textbook, the students almost exclusively used the ebook version with no complaints. I use this book in a highly diverse setting and have never had an issue raised to me regarding insensitivity.
I use this book in foundational math class. There are three things in particular that make this book appeal to me. I like the modularity of this book as it allows me jump around to shape each class based on the students' needs. I also utilized the accompanying PowerPoints as a foundation for my presentations. Lastly and most importantly is the connection to WebAssign for online homework. The ability of WebAssign to deliver additional content to supplement this text in the modality that each student desires based on their learning style makes a huge impact in outcomes.
I highly recommend this text. I did not see a glossary, but there was an effective index. From what I see, you cannot get to the index unless you download the book from the website.
Once I downloaded it, I could see the index. There were some real-world applications considered, some real objects in life, but none that would be considered obsolete any time soon. The topics are in a logical order, there is nothing I would change.
This is how I would teach the class. There were no navigation problems that I ran into. The pictures were nice and there was no distortion. There were some formatting things I noticed in the online version. Specifically, on page , any time there is a formula, after it, there is a space that is missing between it and the next word. However, when I downloaded the PDF version, that formatting error is gone.
All areas of the subject are covered. The index is easy to use. Each section contains a glossary which can be helpful and convenient, but for instructors who limit their teaching to specific sections, a comprehensive glossary that is easily Each section contains a glossary which can be helpful and convenient, but for instructors who limit their teaching to specific sections, a comprehensive glossary that is easily identified in the index would be much more helpful.
I have not found inaccuracies. I found the introductions to the material and real world applicable examples to be unbiased. However, the explanation of factoring trinomials with leading coefficients not 1 only explains one method grouping instead of explaining the general principle.
Some instructors prefer to teach factoring trinomials using trial and error with a focus on students understanding the general principle as the publisher explains for factoring trinomials with coefficients of 1 and factoring by pulling out the GCF.
I also disagree with the explanation of power functions in that variables raised to fractional powers were said to also be power functions.
I really appreciated the fact that the text has links to youtube videos in some sections. This will make the text much more interactive and relevant to the student.
The real life examples seemed quite relevant to today's culture. However, one example in section 1. To my knowledge, that term is not used in this current generation of graduating high school students.
The text is well written, and the examples are interactive. The real-life examples do not contain technical terminology which would be difficult for the average reader to understand.
The text is consistent in how it presents material. Each section has an introduction to material, interactive examples, practice problems, and a glossary at the end.
While I do feel the text is well organized, some sections contain an enormous amount of material. If considering the book for a Pre-Calculus or Trigonometry course, the layout is appropriate to give a brief overview of previously taught Algebra topics. I would not prefer this book for College Algebra.
I have a great appreciation for the interactive examples. However, some examples do not state the solutions as others do, which could be confusing to some readers. The introduction to each section uses material from a variety of cultures throughout history such as Egyptians, Grecians, Haitians.
The introduction also explains applications in a variety of fields such as business, science, engineering, and architecture.
I appreciated many qualities about this book. I enjoyed Section 1. The interactive examples are set up in a way that it gives students a chance to consider solutions before they are told what they are. Students can then click on the link to receive either validation or correction for their thoughts.
As stated earlier, the youtube links make the text user friendly to students today. Improvements to the text could include more common types of factoring examples in Section 1. The explanation of factoring trinomials with a leading coefficient not 1 could explain the general principle of factoring as was done for factoring by grouping and factoring trinomials with leading coefficient of 1 before describing a particular method.

This manual contains completely worked-out solutions for all the odd-numbered exercises in the text. This book aims to help instructors meet this challenge. In writing this Third Edition, our purpose is to further enhance the usefulness of the book as an instructional tool for teachers and as a learning tool for students.
There are several major changes in this edition including a restructuring of each exercise set to better align the exercises with the examples of each section. In this edition each exercise set begins with Concepts Exercises, which encourage students to work with basic concepts and to use mathematical vocabulary appropriately. Several chapters have been reorganized and rewritten as described below to further focus the exposition on the main concepts; we have added a new chapter on vectors in two and three dimensions.
