Like most algebra texts of this level, I feel this lacks a proper set theory focus, particularly in defining and formatting solution _sets_ Other than that, it seems fine and adequate for a first year in college algebra. No good examples for power rule of exponents.
I was drawn to this Mar. 14, 2020 article online: "So There’s a Locust Plague Too?". I tried to compare it to the text and realized how woefully inadequate it is on the practical application of exponential functions. Best I could find is Ex. 3 "Creating a Model for Population Growth" on page 470.
Complaints:
* No formal definition of classes of numbers, like integers and quotients as to formally define "fractions" and thus why the "improper fraction" is required over "mixed fractions"
