Algebra and Trigonometry with Analytic Geometry
By Earl W. Swokowski, Jeffery A. Cole
About your course materials
The latest edition of Swokowski and Cole's ALGEBRA AND TRIGONOMETRY WITH ANALYTIC GEOMETRY retains the elements that have made it so popular with instructors and students alike: clear exposition, an appealing and uncluttered layout, and applications-rich exercise sets. The excellent, time-tested problems have been widely praised for their consistency and their appropriate level of difficulty for precalculus students. The book also covers some more challenging topics, such as Descartes' Rule of Signs and the Theorems on Bounds, which have been eliminated from other texts or relegated to an appendix. The Thirteenth Edition features updated topical references and data, and continues to be supported by outstanding technology resources. Mathematically sound, this book effectively prepares students for further courses in mathematics.
