College Algebra: Graphs and Models

By Marvin L. Bittinger, Judith A. Beecher, Judith A. Penna, et al.

Book Overview

For courses in college algebra.

Visualize. Interact. Succeed.

The Graphs and Models series by Bittinger, Beecher, Ellenbogen, and Penna is known for helping students "see the math" through its focus on visualization and technology. These texts continue to maintain the features that have helped students succeed for years: focus on functions, visual emphasis, side-by-side algebraic and graphical solutions, and real-data applications. With the Sixth Edition, visualization is taken to a new level with technology, and students find even more ongoing review.

Customer Reviews

Good

This book was just the right book that I needed for my college class and almost half the price. I received the book on time and in better condition than I had expected. Would definitely buy from this seller again!

Good

It's agood book. I'm upset I only had it for 8 weeks and we rushed. The delievery was well planned, I just wish I hadn't had so much trouble with my credit card the first few (4) rounds.

Just for thoughts

I am a Math teacher in Malaysia. I own Bittinger's "Elementaryand Intermediate Algebra" and also "Trigonometry". Judging fromthe books I am using as teaching materials, I can say that theBittinger's team has written some of the best Algebra/Trig/Precalculus textbooks. The explanations are straightforward,clear and the format neat. Their exercise sets are excellent,enough for drill-practice purposes and also challenging ones.In my country American math books are way too expensive becauseits the bad economic condition we are having in my country thatbuying of American books is a luxury. I am not able to acquireBittinger's "College Algebra" yet, hopefully I will be able tosee a copy in the future. In their series, the Bittinger teamhas produced their Intermediate Algebra text worth using and Ibelieve this "College Algebra" title would guarantee that the team has produced a text that will not disappoint us. I would strive to get a copy myself one day and I am very sureI will not regret owning it anyway.

awesome service

order was not shipped the same day, so seller gave me a discount and I still received the book pretty quick. Great customer service. The book is in mint condition.

Clear and easy to follow.

I read this book as a refresher of the high school algebra I'd forgotten (or slept through). This book flows well from one topic to the next. Unlike my high school textbooks, this book carefully covers everything you need to know before the practice questions - I never felt lost or hopelessly confused.
