Horizon Textbook Publishing announces the release of Understanding Algebra for College Students (4th ed.), by Bernard Kolman and Arnold Shapiro.
Redding, CA (PRWEB) October 21, 2006 -- Horizon Textbook Publishing (http://www.htpublishing.com) , the leaders in custom textbook publishing for over 20 years, today announced the release of Understanding Algebra for College Students (4th ed.), by Bernard Kolman (Drexel University) and Arnold Shapiro (Temple University).
The authors, Kolman and Shapiro, adopt an informal, supportive style to encourage the student to read the entire book and to develop confidence under its guidance. They reinforce every new mathematical technique or result with detailed examples and captions clarifying their purpose. After each example, the student is presented with the opportunity to tackle a sample problem, called a Progress Check, with the answer available in the text.
“We are very excited about the improvements that come with this fourth edition,” said Jason James, CEO of Horizon Textbook Publishing. “It is the perfect compliment to our introductory college algebra text, and to a new calculus title we plan to release in the upcoming months.”
