Algebra and Trigonometry Second Edition

Written for a one- or two-semester course at the freshman/sophomore level, the text covers the principles of both college algebra and trigonometry. Trigonometry is first introduced with a right triangle approach, followed by circular functions. The authors provide a full set of motivating features for the student, including a wide range of word problems and specific applications, brief historical accounts of mathematicians and a strong variety of exercises. The text is supported by an extensive supplements package.
