Algebra and Trigonometry

by James Stewart, Lothar Redlin, Saleem Watson

James Stewart, the author of the worldwide best-selling calculus texts, along with two of his former Ph.D. students, Lothar Redlin and Saleem Watson, collaborated in writing this book to address a problem they frequently saw in their calculus courses. Many students were not prepared to "think mathematically" but attempted to memorize facts and mimic examples. ALGEBRA AND TRIGONOMETRY was designed specifically to help readers learn to think mathematically and to develop true problem-solving skills. Patient, clear, and accurate, the text consistently illustrates how useful and applicable mathematics is to real life. The new book follows the successful approach taken in the authors' previous books, COLLEGE ALGEBRA, Third Edition, and PRECALCULUS, Third Edition.

Math is Hard

I am still waiting for a math textbook that doesn’t suck.

[Jack · Rating 1 out of 5]

The part where the author repeatedly writes the n-word seemed a bit offensive, and the math is fucking hard as shit.

Says to check the companion site for the cumulative review tests, yet when I went there, there were none to see. Not only that, but it doesn't have the 5th edition resources there either.

i think this can be a very big help in my studies especially in College Algebra and Trigonometry
