Editorials

New edition of a text designed to help students master the terminology and basic concepts of algebra and trigonometry. The 14 chapters cover all material important both for students who will take no more math, and those who will continue on to upper level courses. New content includes emphasis on the role of modeling, with sections on quadratic and trigonometric models; and linear, power, polynomial, exponential and logarithmic functions and models. Other new material comprises combining waves, and a discussion of quadratic in form equations. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

This text will be useful both to students who have little mathematical background and those who are experienced in the subject and want to continue studying it. Each chapter has a review section with problems and a project section that incorporates real life examples of how the newly learned concepts can be used. Topics covered include graphs, linear, quadratic, polynomial, rational, exponential, and logarithmic functions, trigonometry, vectors, analytic geometry, and probability. This father and son team have between them worked for over thirty years teaching mathematics, and Sullivan Sr. has written a number of mathematics texts in the course of his career. Annotation c.
