This new text embodies Sullivan/Sullivan’s hallmarks – accuracy, precision, depth, strong student support, and abundant exercises while exposing students early (Chapter One) to the study of functions. "IT WORKS" for instructors and students because it focuses students on the fundamentals:preparing for class, practicing their homework, and reviewing. After completing the book, students will be prepared to handle the algebra found in subsequent courses such as finite mathematics, business mathematics, and engineering calculus and will have a solid understanding of the concept of a function.

Customer Rating: Summary: Illustrations somewhat vague Comment: Compared with other Algebra books of which I have studied, this book would rank somewhere in the middle. It has just the right amount of illustrations along with just the right amount of color. However, some examples and illustrations are somewhat vague. Certain examples leave you scratching your head trying to figure out how the criteria given in the example matches with the mathematics that are being taught. Other than that, a great book! Customer Rating: Summary: Book in very good condition. Comment: This book is very helpfull for learning algebra. I would reccomend this book to anyone.
