I did find one case where I felt there was inconsistency in terminology.
A click of your mouse on any index item takes you to the appropriate section. Just a moment while we sign you in to your Goodreads account. The textbook has sufficient worked examples and applications that support the learning objectives, many supporting feature such as “How To” and “Try It”, and many online homework software system partners such as “XYZ homework” and “WEBASSIGN” that I did not have the chance to contact nor try yet. However, some word problems were dated. 1.
I especially like the blocked features, such as "Q & A", which ask students a right question for better understanding of the concept in the given section.
The text seems more friendly to students to read than a typical textbooks on the market.
In some sense, the clarity to students and the clarity of instructors might different. We’d love your help.
The table of contents (in both the online and PDF versions) is very useful, considering it provides links that allow you to jump straight to a specific section. Each lesson's objective is clear.Lessons are organized into a logical order, with later lessons built on earlier lessons. Instead of saying “Figure 1.2 shows …”, it says “Figure shows …”. I will likely continue to use this textbook. 1, so that they could be corrected.
Each of those sections is broken up into: the standard hook example, brief content lecture, a couple example problems, a “try it” section for practice, additional explanation of the topic with a “Q&A” section, then further development of the section topic with more example problems. The clarity of this textbook was excellent.
There’s certainly more than a semester’s worth of material here and it would be fairly straightforward to pick and choose sections to...For a course titled College Algebra, all the topics covered and the level of rigor for those topics are mostly as one would expect. Also, I would need additional linear application problems. Student's will be able to pick up this book and learn from it with little outside supplementation.
As mentioned before, the advanced chapters following logarithms are self-contained and can be taught in any order skipping chapters without loss of consistency.The order of the topics presented progress from easier to more difficult in a logical manner starting with a strong foundation and building upon that foundation.
The table of contents contains easy and clear links to chapters and sections (even the PDF has links!).
Download it once and read it on your Kindle device, PC, phones or tablets. And the examples and exercises are generic and basic enough that they will not be out of date. The textbook uses many real-live scenarios in examples. This is a serious issue affecting students’ reading. The structure of the text is quite consistent. Similarly, there are a few points where I would have preferred the font to be a larger size. I do have concerns about the reliance on cell-phone per/minute plans that no longer represent the most common use-pattern and are unlikely to return to prominence. Goodreads helps you keep track of books you want to read.
They start essentially with basics and equations followed by functions and then on to (in standard order) the five main functions: Linear, Polynomial, Rational, Exponential and Logarithmic.
There is an example or two of “solving logarithms mentally” which I believe goes a long way towards the goal of getting students to think about the mathematics they do. The content in the sections is divided into self-contained topics which allows for easy reference or for reordering (or skipping) to serve overall course objectives.
The author includes a lot of examples in each topic and provides many ways while presenting the contents using visual methods such as highlighting the rules, graphs, and illustrations to make it clear for the students to achieve a better understanding of mathematical reasoning.The text is organized in a logical and consistent format while reading within topics. The author uses a consistent narrative text that develops learner curiosity. There are portions of the text that are vastly more approachable in their discussion of ideas and concepts than is common, and those, like the semi-frequent Q&A asides are where the text is at its best. The text covers material comparable to the text I currently use. Overall the textbook has an attractive aesthetic and is nearly on par with modern retail offerings.
It has extensive review material as well.
A spot check of a few problems per section from chapter 1 through 7 did not reveal any mistakes.
Sections within each chapter break up the material such that it can be covered in a single class session.
The presentation of concepts was logical and consistent with other textbooks that share the College Algebra title. College Algebra provides a comprehensive exploration of algebraic principles and meets scope and sequence requirements for a typical introductory algebra course. I’m sure I found that more interesting than people will 20 years from now.
The sections are of a reasonable length to teach in a regular class time setting.
