College Algebra, 10th Edition

To adapt to the ever changing needs of students as well as instructors, College Algebra, 10th Edition has been revised by authors Margaret L. Lial, John Hornsby, and David I. Schneider to include new exercises and more insightful problems. This easy-to-use handbook still uses straightforward language ideal for freshmen and entry-level math students, but has been updated with new chapters for address changing classroom requirements. It starts off with a review of the basic concepts of math, including sets, polynomials, rational expressions, exponents, and real numbers. College Algebra, 10th Edition (ISBN 9780321499134) also covers equations and inequalities, graphs and functions, polynomial and rational functions, inverse logarithmic, exponential functions, matrices and systems, and analytic geometry. More advanced students can progress to sequences and series, the binomial theorem, mathematical induction, basics of probability, and counting theory. This edition integrates more examples and exercises; each chapter has been subdivided for easier digestion. Sections on linear equations, quadratic equations, curve fitting, matrix inverses, and conic sections have been revised. Students who want to be challenged and to sharpen their mathematical skills even more can make use of the online supplement. Authors Lial, Hornsby, and Schneider have updated discussions and examples and added more exercises based on suggestions of previous users. The new online supplement provides even more study aids and quizzes. College Algebra, 10th Edition also comes with a CD with video lectures, an additional skill and drill manual, and a solutions manual for instructors. This series continues to be one of the most used algebra references decades after its first release.
