Algebra and Trigonometry With Applications
This book was written to provide students with a straightforward, readable text that presents algebra and trigonometry in an appealing manner. We have tried to "talk" with our readers, without patronizing or lecturing them; and we have avoided sophisticated "mathematical elegance" in favor of an intuitive approach to algebra and trigonometry.
The material in this book can be understood by the student who has had the equivalent of two years of college-preparatory mathematics in high school, including algebra and some plane geometry, or who has taken a college-level course in introductory algebra. Determined students with less preparation may be able to master the contents of this book, particularly if they use the accompanying Study Guide as an aid.
