Product Description
Accessible to students and flexible for instructors, College Algebra, Sixth Edition, uses the dynamic link between concepts and applications to bring mathematics to life. By incorporating interactive learning techniques, the Aufmann team helps students to better understand concepts, work independently, and obtain greater mathematical fluency. The text also includes technology features to accommodate courses that allow the option of using graphing calculators. Additional program components that support student success include Eduspace tutorial practice, online homework, SMARTHINKING Live Online Tutoring, and Instructional DVDs. The authors' proven Aufmann Interactive Method allows students to try a skill as it is presented in example form. This interaction between the examples and Try Exercises serves as a checkpoint to students as they read the textbook, do their homework, or study a section. In the Sixth Edition, Review Notes are featured more prominently throughout the text to help students recognize the key prerequisite skills needed to understand new concepts.

 Best text I've ever seen in 10 years of teaching! October 29, 1999

Aufmann's text is excellent. The problems are clearly organized and worked in detail. Aufmann really makes a serious effort to help the students understand the material. His applied problems are very interesting and the illustrations and helpful and numerous. I learned algebra from an old text by Dolciani, and I think Aufmann's book is much better. If I were learning algebra for the first time today, I would hope that my instructors would choose Aufmann's book rather than any of the other sorry excuses for algebra textbooks that are available today. Trust me when I say: ALL ALGEBRA TEXTBOOKS ARE NOT CREATED EQUAL. AUFMANN RULES! and if you give the text half a chance, you will be able to learn algebra from it.

This book is written for the average college student. The
material is illustrated well and there are many examples
depicting the mathematical concepts. More advanced students
are sufficiently challenged, average students will work hard
and below-average students may have problems. It is important
for the instructor to assign frequent homeworks and review
the homeworks before continuing with new material. A small
minority of students enter college having had NO ALGEBRA in
high school. I wish that some of these students would return
to high school to complete the work they never finished.
Overall, I'm satisfied that the text represents a fair
concensus of the problems encountered in College Algebra.
There are sufficient word problems which require students
to translate verbiage into mathematical formulas. In addition,
classic areas; such as, "complete the square" are covered
thoroughly.
