College Algebra by Aufmann

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 studentsare sufficiently challenged, average students will work hardand below-average students may have problems. It is importantfor the instructor to assign frequent homeworks and reviewthe homeworks before continuing with new material. A smallminority of students enter college having had NO ALGEBRA inhigh school. I wish that some of these students would returnto high school to complete the work they never finished.Overall, I'm satisfied that the text represents a fairconcensus of the problems encountered in College Algebra.There are sufficient word problems which require studentsto translate verbiage into mathematical formulas. In addition,classic areas; such as, "complete the square" are coveredthoroughly.

Best text I've ever seen in 10 years of teaching!

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.
