The book is complete in itself and can be used equally well by those who are in a class studying college
algebra for the first time as well as those who wish to review the fundamental principles and procedures of col-
lege algebra on their own. Students who are studying advanced algebra in high school will be able to use the
book as a source of additional examples, explanations, and problems. The thorough treatment of the topics of
algebra allows an instructor to use the book as the textbook for a course, as a resource for material on a specific
topic, or as a source for additional problems.
