College Algebra: A View Of The World Around Us by David G. WellsMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
As a mathematics teacher, I have found it a worthwhile habit to get other algebra tests 5 - 10 years old and take them apart, separating out useful pages for classroom capsules. I have done that with at least ten texts of the same vintage as this. This is the only one I wish I kept and had on my shelf whole. It's lucid and patient explanation - more words than equations - is the best example I know of of a balance of contextual and constructive approaches in a widely available algebra text.
