College Algebra (6th Edition)

I order this book for my college class Math 124 and I bought it new as I like to write in my books and leave little memos for myself when I go back and study. Overall the book has a lot of math problems to solve and get practice from and if you don’t understand the problems the book provides readings and explanations alongside examples on how to solve most problems in it. My main issue with this textbook is that I bought it new but received it dented around the corners, but I didn’t return it as I needed it for my class and it arrived the day before the professor was doing a graded check to see if we had our books.

I'm still at a loss for how to study for my coopersmith.. thinking of switching topics!

I really liked how the textbook was up to date and loved how the cover portrayed something a college student would feel familiar with. I also like how the problems are put together by easy to difficult, which helps with practice of the problems. The reason why i'm giving 4 stars would be because if it would not have been for my professor i would not have been able to figure out all of the problems.

Okay honestly, it's a good book. Rented it because duh, school said we had to. Overall, nicely laid out though and easy format to follow. No complaints, and the rental option was a really GREAT, and affordable choice! Saved a ton of money to get this the whole semester, that rocks even more!

Very useful for algebra classes but it would be cheaper for math students. We deserve it!

Awesome book for college algebra. I suggest renting it, not buying it. KEEP THE BOX IT CAME IN SO YOU CAN SHIP BACK JUST AS EASILY. IF RENTING IT, THERE IS NO ACCESS CODE. I knew this going in so wasn't caught off guard. I just wanted to have the book. If you're not so good at math, like myself, READ THE FULL BOOK & EXAMPLES. College Algebra is not easy so work on it everyday! Don't be scared!

Glad I can rent it instead of buying it. The content in the book is very helpful in guiding you step by step how to solve problems.

At times this text fell short in offering clear discussion. As an engineer, I found this text inadequate to the task of teaching people who struggle with math. Taking it upon myself to insure that my niece passed her course, I had to consult other resources apart from this book.
