College Algebra
When Julie Miller began writing her successful developmental math series, one of her primary goals was to bridge the gap between preparatory courses and college algebra. For thousands of students, the Miller/O’Neill/Hyde (or M/O/H) series has provided a solid foundation in developmental mathematics. With the Miller College Algebra series, Julie has carried forward her clear, concise writing style; highly effective pedagogical features; and complete author-created technological package to students in this course area. The main objectives of the college algebra series are •Provide students with a clear and logical presentation of the basic concepts that will prepare them for continued study in mathematics. •Help students develop logical thinking and problem-solving skills that will benefit them in all aspects of life. •Motivate students by demonstrating the significance of mathematics in their lives through practical applications.

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"
