Book Description

Written for a one- or two-semester course at the freshman/sophomore level, the text covers the principles of both college algebra and trigonometry. Trigonometry is first introduced with a right triangle approach, followed by circular functions. The authors provide a full set of motivating features for the student, including a wide range of word problems and specific applications, brief historical accounts of mathematicians and a strong variety of exercises. The text is supported by an extensive supplements package. ... Read more

Book Description

The aim of the present book is very simply stated; it is to discuss - and to some extent to explore - the Weyl-Dirac theory in connection with classical electromagnetism and cosmology. The study of our universe in recent years has become one of the most interesting and important subjects. Current cosmology considers a large number of various subjects from elementary particles to the large scale-structure of the universe. In order to explain this variety of phenomena, which occur between the Planck time and tens of billions of years, one makes use of methods stemming from different physical theories: elementary particle physics, quantum mechanics, thermodynamics, statistical physics, celestial mechanics, etc. It is, however, generally accepted to express those approaches in terms of the general theory of relativity, which is based on Riemann's geometry. In this book, it is shown that some unexplained cosmological and electrodynamic phenomena may be treated and understood in the geometrically based framework of Weyl and Dirac.

The book is intended for physicists, astrophysicists, cosmologists and mathematicians who are familiar with the foundations of Einstein's general theory of relativity. ... Read more

Best Intermediate Algebra textbook I've ever seen!
I've taught Intermediate Algebra for the past 5 years, and this is the best Intermediate Algebra text I've ever seen. The sections are clearly organized with many more worked examples than in most textbooks. The problems sets are excellent also. You won't find anything better in Intermediate Algebra: I've seen the rest, GO WITH McKEAGUE CAUSE HE'S THE BEST!

An easy to follow guide for mastering Algebra.
This text book starts at the beginning, with each lesson progressing a step further. The language and examples are clear. Particularly noteworthy are the study guides. Follow them faithfully, keep plugging away, and you WILL master Algebra! ... Read more

Book Description

A clear, concise presentation of the standard topics of college algebra and trigonometry -- covering the mathematics (algebra, functions, analytic geometry, trigonometry combinatorics, and probability) needed before approaching more advanced subjects such as calculus and discrete mathematics. Written with both instructor and student in mind, the text is easy to use, and each section can be covered in one class. Clearly marked subsections make it easy to omit more basic topics when necessary. The material is carefully organized and paced, offering thoughtful explanations through a combination of examples and theory. Contains an excellent review of basic algebra, with coverage of equations and inequalities, graphs and functions, complex numbers and more. This edition contains more exercises requiring the use of a calculator, new and numerous examples, and end-of-section exercises that provide a good test of the student's progress. ... Read more
