Algebra and Trigonometry
Samenvatting
Axler Algebra & Trigonometry is written for the two semester course. The text provides students with the skill and understanding needed for their coursework and for participating as an educated citizen in a complex society. Axler Algebra & Trigonometry focuses on depth, not breadth of topics by exploring necessary topics in greater detail. Readers will benefit from the straightforward definitions and plentiful examples of complex concepts. The Student Solutions Manual is integrated at the end of every section. The proximity of the solutions encourages students to go back and read the main text as they are working through the problems and exercises. The inclusion of the manual also saves students money.
Axler Algebra & Trigonometry is available with WileyPLUS; an innovative, research–based, online environment for effective teaching and learning.
WileyPLUS sold separately from text.
