Review: College Algebra: An Early Functions Approach


College Algebra: An Early Functions Approach
College Algebra: An Early Functions Approach by Robert Blitzer

My rating: 0 of 5 stars



There are things I like and don't like about this text. I like the preliminaries/review section and the material on LP and linear system inequalities. I am unhappy with the thin coverage of root function inequalities (such a good area to discuss range and domain) and using the TI calculators to do linear regression (great real world applicability.) I also like the material on exponential models which builds mathematical sophistication in modelling and interpreting common models.
