520    "Algebra & Geometry: An Introduction to University 
       Mathematics provides a bridge between high school and 
       undergraduate mathematics courses on algebra and geometry.
       The author shows how mathematics is more than a collection
       of methods by presenting important ideas and their 
       historical origins throughout the text. He incorporates a 
       hands-on approach to proofs and connects algebra and 
       geometry to various applications."-- Page 4 of cover
