College Mathematics, Ninth Edition, is designed for students in a broad range of career programs requiring a solid understanding of basic math, elementary algebra, trigonometry, and geometry. The authors introduce topics using a step-by-step “spiral” learning approach and reinforce them with numerous examples and applications. Throughout the text, examples are presented in both symbolic and narrative form, and all concepts are applied to careers and professions. Paired with MyMathLab (access kit available separately), College Mathematics by Cleaves and Hobbs provides students with the math in context that they need to succeed in their future careers.
