*See the New to This Edition segment for information on new or enhanced features, in addition to those listed above.
Content Changes for the Fourth Edition
For this fourth edition of College Algebra, there are extensively updated explanations, examples, exercises, and art in response to comments from the users of the third edition. Over 1000 additional exercises have been added to this edition, and many of the existing exercises have been improved, updated, and reorganized, providing students with a smoother path to success. Using a pedagogical approach to color, more color has been added to key examples to emphasize certain computations. The art package has been revamped with new photographs and situational art that complement the fresh new design and will help students better visualize the mathematics being discussed. The section on complex numbers has been moved to Chapter P (Prerequisites) so that Chapter 3 (Polynomial and Rational Functions) would contain fewer sections and be easier to teach.
New and Enhanced Features
