Description
Comprehensive College Algebra: Building Mathematical Insights Through Logic and Exercises is a concise, but rigorous, introduction to college algebra that features a variety of exercises designed to help students build up mathematical thinking, master mathematical skills, and develop mathematical insights.
The book begins with an introduction of sets and the number systems. This foundational knowledge prepares students for the subsequent chapters, and skill development in areas including:
Polynomials
Factoring
Linear Equations and Inequalities
Rational Expressions
Coordinate Systems and Lines
Radicals
Quadratic Equations
Conic Sections
Exponential and Logarithmic Functions
All chapters emphasize clear definitions, which are presented in context, as well as propositions and theorems. Comprehensive review questions are included at the end of the book to allow for independent practice.
Comprehensive College Algebra is written for college algebra courses, but can also be used for high school classes. It serves best under instructions. Familiarity with integers and decimals, as well as their operations, is needed to use the book effectively.
