With a visual, graphical approach that emphasizes connections among concepts, this text helps students make the most of their study time. The authors show how different mathematical ideas are tied together through their zeros, solutions, and x-intercepts theme; side-by-side algebraic and graphical solutions; calculator screens; and examples and exercises. By continually reinforcing the connections among various mathematical concepts as well as different solution methods, the authors lead students to the ultimate goal of mastery and success in class.
The book is pretty explanatory and easy to understand. I wish I were studying it in class with the professor explaining some things as opposed to do it alone. It worked out in the end and I learned a lot. This is about the end of my math "career" *haha*
I think there could have been more examples in the book (mine was online). I learned more efficiently from watching videos that my professor provided and from using the MyLabs Plus study section.
