Summary: Just for thoughts
Review: I am a Math teacher in Malaysia. I own Bittinger's "Elementary
and Intermediate Algebra" and also "Trigonometry". Judging from
the books I am using as teaching materials, I can say that the
Bittinger's team has written some of the best Algebra/Trig/
Precalculus textbooks. The explanations are straightforward,
clear and the format neat. Their exercise sets are excellent,
enough for drill-practice purposes and also challenging ones.In my country American math books are way too expensive because
its the bad economic condition we are having in my country that
buying of American books is a luxury. I am not able to acquire
Bittinger's "College Algebra" yet, hopefully I will be able to
see a copy in the future. In their series, the Bittinger team
has produced their Intermediate Algebra text worth using and I
believe this "College Algebra" title would guarantee that the
team has produced a text that will not disappoint us. I would strive to get a copy myself one day and I am very sure
I will not regret owning it anyway.

Summary: Why is this book $80.00???
Review: Shame on the authors for taking advantage of college students. This is extortion! I assume that the authors are college instructors. C'mon folks, we know you don't make that much money, but why take it out on the students? This book is an introduction to college math, not an introduction to nuclear science!!! Most university students don't make this much money in a week. I recommend that university instructors stop using overpriced text books such as this one. There are quite a few good college math books on the market, most more reasonably priced than this one! I certainly won't be using this book with any of my students.
