Five Stars Amazon Customer A very good price. arrived right on time.. Samuel C. Glover said The publishers are feeding on the corpse of a man who was their better. Swokowski's work, and his follow-on calculus text, deserve ten stars. They are both models of exposition. "Algebra & Trigonometry" in particular helped me overcome a conviction that I couldn't do math. In that sense it may have changed my life more than any other book I've ever read. My copy -- I will never part with it -- is decades old, but every now and then I still dip into it, whenever I need some oddball angle formula that I've forgotten.But I give this one star because this it's a rank, stinking example of the greed of .

In fact this is one of the few books in any math subject that I have gotten students to read on a consistent basis.""The design/feel of this book contributes greatly to it readability. I like the variety (different type and difficulty) with which the author engages the student based on the concepts in the section
The book also provides calculator examples, including specific keystrokes that show you how to use various graphing calculators to solve problems more quickly.

The problems have been consistently praised for being at just the right level for precalculus students like you. Perhaps most important-this book effectively prepares you for further courses in mathematics.. This latest edition of Swokowski and Cole's ALGEBRA AND TRIGONOMETRY WITH ANALYTIC GEOMETRY retains these features
