College algebra

This fifth edition of College Algebra maintains our objective of providing a textbook designed for use by the student. The book is written in a supportive style and includes abundant pedagogic tools to encourage the student to carefully read the text, follow the numerous examples and tackle the exercises. The skills and confidence the students acquire will enable him or her to succeed in more advanced mathematics courses (calculus, in particular) that are required in the study of engineering, the natural sciences, business and management.
