College Algebra, 12th Edition

Authors: R. David Gustafson (Author), Jeff Hughes (Author)

Clearly written and focused for success, the Twelfth Edition of Gustafson and Hughes’ popular book, COLLEGE ALGEBRA, provides in-depth and precise coverage, incorporated into a framework of tested teaching strategy. The authors combine carefully selected pedagogical features and patient explanations to give students a book that preserves the integrity of mathematics, yet does not discourage them with material that is confusing or too rigorous. Long respected for its ability to help students quickly master difficult problems, this book also helps them develop the skills they’ll need in future courses and in everyday life. Retaining the mathematical precision instructors have come to expect, the authors have focused on making this new edition more modern to better illustrate to students the importance of math in their world.

Preface
To the Instructor
It is with great delight that we present the twelfth edition of College Algebra. This revised edition maintains the same philosophy of the highly successful previous editions but is enhanced to meet the current expectations of today’s students and instructors. An instructional experience for students and instructors is provided to increase problem-solving skills while at the same time preparing students for success in trigonometry, calculus, statistics, and other disciplines of study. The textbook has been revised for greater clarity of design and instruction.
Our goal is to write a textbook that
● presents solid mathematics written in way that is easy to understand for students with diverse abilities, backgrounds, and future career goals;
● provides a strong instructional experience that will help students master algebra and that emphasizes the important concept of a function;
● motivates learning by using popular culture and real-life applications;
● improves critical-thinking abilities in all students develops algebra skills needed for future success in mathematics courses
We believe that we have accomplished this goal through a successful blending of content and pedagogy. We present thorough coverage of classic college algebra topics, and we incorporate these topics into a contemporary framework of tested teaching strategies. We provide features that are written to appeal to both students and instructors. This book emphasizes conceptual understanding, problem solving, and the appropriate use of technology.
New Features
-Tip Boxes to Provide Helpful Strategies for Studying and Learning Content Tip boxes appear throughout the textbook, and many of these boxes provide a visual representation of the tip to help students remember the tip
-Take Note Boxes to Provide Additional Insights into Specific Content These noteworthy statements highlight important information in the book. The statements often provide clarification on a specific step or concept in an example and also emphasize theory, which is sometimes overlooked
-Critical Thinking Exercises to Encourage Algebraic Thinking and to Assess Conceptual Understanding Exercise sets now include Critical Thinking exercises.
These exercises are primarily true–false statements. If a statement is false, students are then asked to make the necessary change to produce a true statement.
Matching exercises are also used
