About the Author, Earl Swokowski
Jeffery A. Cole has been teaching mathematics and computer science at Anoka-Ramsey Community College since fall 1981. He started working on the Swokowski series of precalculus texts in 1985, as an ancillary author. His involvement with the Swokowski texts increased in 1989 with the revision of the calculus text, and he has been a co-author since 1991 for the precalculus texts.
"One of the best precalculus texts on the market . . . This is a wonderful text. Its strength is in the problems. I love the number and level of applications. The authors have also succeeded in designing a text for the use or non-use of the graphing calculator."
