Overview

Mike Sullivan’s time-tested approach focuses students on the fundamental skills they need for the course: preparing for class, practicing with homework, and reviewing the concepts. In the Ninth Edition, Algebra and Trigonometry has evolved to meet today’s course needs, building on these hallmarks by integrating projects and other interactive learning tools for use in the classroom or online.   Note: This is the standalone book, if you want the book/access card order the ISBN below;   0321760654 / 9780321760654 Algebra and Trigonometry plus MyMathLab with Pearson eText -- Access Card Package Package consists of: 0321431308 / 9780321431301 MyMathLab/MyStatLab -- Glue-in Access Card 0321654064 / 9780321654069 MyMathLab Inside Star Sticker 0321716566 / 9780321716569 Algebra and Trigonometry
