About the Author
Marge Lial has always been interested in math; it was her favorite subject in the first grade! Marge's intense desire to educate both her students and herself has inspired the writing of numerous best-selling textbooks. Marge, who received Bachelor's and Master's degrees from California State University at Sacramento, is now affiliated with American River College. Marge is an avid reader and traveler. Her travel experiences often find their way into her books as applications, exercise sets, and feature sets. She is particularly interested in archeology. Trips to various digs and ruin sites have produced some fascinating problems for her textbooks involving such topics as the building of Mayan pyramids and the acoustics of ancient ball courts in the Yucatan.
When John Hornsby enrolled as an undergraduate at Louisiana State University, he was uncertain whether he wanted to study mathematics education or journalism. His ultimate decision was to become a teacher, but after twenty-five years of teaching at the high school and university levels and fifteen years of writing mathematics textbooks, both of his goals have been realized. His love for both teaching and for mathematics is evident in his passion for working with students and fellow teachers as well. His specific professional interests are recreational mathematics, mathematics history, and incorporating graphing calculators into the curriculum. John's personal life is busy as he devotes time to his family (wife Gwen, and sons Chris, Jack, and Josh). He has been a rabid baseball fan all of his life. John's other hobbies include numismatics (the study of coins) and record collecting. He loves the music of the 1960s and has an extensive collection of the recorded works of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons.
David Schneider has taught mathematics at universities for over 34 years and has authored 36 books. He has an undergraduate degree in mathematics from Oberlin College and a PhD in mathematics from MIT. During most of his professional career, he was on the faculty of the University of Maryland–College Park. His hobbies include travel, dancing, bicycling, and hiking.
Callie Daniels has always had a passion for learning mathematics and brings that passion into the classroom with her students. She attended the University of the Ozarks on an athletic scholarship, playing both basketball and tennis. While there, she earned a bachelor’s degree in Secondary Mathematics Education as well as the NAIA Academic All-American Award. She has two master’s degrees: one in Applied Mathematics and Statistics from the University of Missouri-Rolla, the second in Adult Education from the University of Missouri- St. Louis. Her hobbies include watching her sons play sports, riding horses, fishing, shooting photographs, and playing guitar. Her professional interests include improving success in the community college mathematics sequence, using technology to enhance students’ understanding of mathematics, and creating materials that support classroom teaching and student understanding.

I STRONGLY suggest you RENT this textbook. I rented it for around $25 from an marketplace seller. Unless you are a math major and love to collect math books, do yourself a favor – save some money and just rent this textbook. The suggested retail price of this textbook is insane, even used it is insanely expensive. Just rent the textbook, it will save you a ton of cash. Plus you won’t have the burden of selling a used textbook, that you most likely will not get all of your money back out of. RENT IT!
I am currently taking College Algebra at my local community college, one night a week. I graduated high school in 2002, went to college for several years, but have yet to successfully complete college algebra (had to drop the class twice). I have always struggled with math, especially Algebra. I am a visual learner. Once I see a problem worked, either in person or in a book, I will understand it.
With this textbook, I am really struggling to understand some of the exercises. Some of the exercises are not thoroughly explained in the review. How can they expect you just to learn how to solve for H, with the area of a trapezoid using a linear equation – if they don’t give an example? I honestly hate how textbooks do this! Now, my instructor only assigns a handful of odd numbered exercises. I of course complete the required exercises, but on my own – I work the rest of the exercises, even and odd. This textbook only provides the answers for the odd numbered problems. There is an issue with the answers in the back of the book, the sections are literally separated! For example, there are answers to "Solutions to Selected Exercises" for chapter 1.1 on page S-3. Then there are "Answers to Selected Exercises" for chapter 1.1 on page A-3.
