Reviews
When reviewing the texts, we found that Gustafson/Frisk stacked up best against the competition. It was very easy to follow, had a good writing style, was at the appropriate level and was accessible to the students. When I taught the class using the book, I found it to be an excellent book to teach from, and the students seemed to like it as well., ÝGustafson and Frisk's College Algebra¨ has definitely lived up to my expectations. It is a very good book, with a lot of examples that are worked as an illustration. It also has a lot of exercise problems for the students to work out so that the students can develop a strong foundation in this subject., "The Gustafson/Frisk text is conversational in tone and has explanations in language closer to 'teacher talk' than most textbooks. This makes the book easier to read and more student-friendly." "The Careers and Mathematics sections are up-to-date and use data effectively to show information which should be of interest to students. What a nice, subtle way to answer the questions, 'What are we ever going to do with this?'!", "The Gustafson/Frisk text is conversational in tone and has explanations in language closer to ’teacher talk’ than most textbooks.
