Algebra and Trigonometry, Global Edition -- MyLab Math with Pearson eText

Bob Blitzer is a native of Manhattan and received aBachelor of Arts degree with dual majors in mathematics and psychology (minor:English literature) from the City College of New York. His unusual combinationof academic interests led him toward a Master of Arts in mathematics from theUniversity of Miami and a doctorate in behavioral sciences from NovaUniversity. Bob's love for teaching mathematics was nourished for nearly 30years at Miami Dade College, where he received numerous teaching awards,including Innovator of the Year from the League for Innovations in theCommunity College and an endowed chair based on excellence in the classroom. Inaddition to Algebra and Trigonometry, Bob has written textbookscovering developmental mathematics, introductory algebra, intermediate algebra,trigonometry, precalculus, and liberal arts mathematics, all published byPearson. When not secluded in his Northern California writer's cabin, Bob canbe found hiking the beaches and trails of Point Reyes National Seashore andtending to the chores required by his beloved entourage of horses, chickens,and irritable roosters.
