About this book :-
"College Algebra and Trigonometry" by "Richard?Beveridge" is a comprehensive, student-friendly textbook designed for first-year college students. It combines "algebra" and "trigonometry" in a single resource, providing a clear, structured approach to mastering essential mathematical concepts. The book starts with a thorough "algebra review", covering functions, polynomials, exponents, and logarithms, giving students a solid foundation before moving into more advanced topics. The trigonometry sections introduce "trigonometric functions", identities, equations, and applications such as the Law of Sines and Law of Cosines. Beveridge emphasizes understanding concepts through clear explanations, practical examples, and step-by-step exercises. Students are guided to connect algebraic techniques with trigonometric problem solving, enhancing "concept mastery" and improving overall mathematical confidence. Analytic geometry, sequences, and series are also included to strengthen problem-solving skills and real-world application. Designed for both classroom and independent study, this open-access textbook supports "active learning" and self-paced study. Its structured approach encourages students to practice and apply what they learn while developing critical thinking in mathematics. With a focus on clarity, accessibility, and practical exercises, Beveridge’s book equips learners with the tools to succeed in college-level math and beyond.
