This is two books sold as set only. Known for its clear, "no-nonsense" explanations as well as mathematical accuracy, Gustafson has long been counted amount the tried-and-true algebra texts. The fifth edition has been substantially revised and now features not only new pedagogy-self checks, vocabulary and concept exercises-but also a new design and a new ancillary package-videos, and interactive tutorial software. Long-time Gustafson users will appreciate the updates made while non-users now have plenty of reasons to take a closer look.
