A BETTER WAY TO COLLEGE ALGEBRA X-PERTISE
One of the most valuable tools acquired in a university education, college algebra is essential for courses from the sciences to computing, engineering to mathematics. It can help you do better on placement exams, even before college, and it’s useful in solving the computations of daily life. Now anyone with an interest in college algebra can master it. In College Algebra Demystified, entertaining author and experienced teacher Rhonda Huettenmueller breaks college algebra down into manageable bites with practical examples, real data, and a new approach that banishes algebra’s mystery.
With College Algebra Demystified, you master the subject one simple step at a time—at your own speed. Unlike most books on college algebra, general concepts are presented first—and the details follow. In order to make the process as clear and simple as possible, long computations are presented in a logical, layered progression with just one execution per step.
This fast and easy self-teaching course will help you:
Perform better on placement exams
Avoid confusion with detailed examples and solutions that help you every step of the way
Conquer the coordinate plane, lines and intercepts, parabolas, and nonlinear equations
Get comfortable with functions, graphs of functions, logarithms, exponents, and more
Master aspects of algebra that will help you with calculus, geometry, trigonometry, physics, chemistry, computing, and engineering
Reinforce learning and pinpoint weaknesses with questions at the end of every chapter, and a final at the end of the book
About the Author
Rhonda Huettenmueller (Sanger, TX) has taught mathematics at the college level for over 14 years. Popular with students for her ability to make higher math understandable and even enjoyable, she incorporates many of her teaching techniques in this book. She received her Ph.D. in mathematics from the University of North Texas.

Review
“The most exciting aspect of this current era of the Web, which has come to be known as Web 2.0, is that everything is read/write. Whether it’s people communicating and sharing content with each other on social network sites like YouTube and Facebook, or computers talking to each using web services, or people personalizing their news using RSS and blogs, Web 2.0 is a two-way experience - it’s no longer a one-way, broadcast model as it was in the Dot Com era of the Web. Dr. Gottfried Vossen and Stephen Hagemann have very clearly explained this transition to the new read/write era of the Web, and they paint a picture of how it might progress to the next stage via Semantic Web and other technologies. This book will help you understand the ongoing evolution of the Web, and push you to create applications that take advantage of the read/write Web.”
Richard MacManus, Editor, Read/WriteWeb (http://www.readwriteweb.com)
