Algebra & Trigonometry, 12th Edition, is a mathematics textbook authored by Michael Sullivan and published by Pearson. The volume provides instructional explanations and exercises designed to support students throughout their mathematics studies.

Broad areas of coverage encompass equations and inequalities, the properties and graphing of functions, and trigonometry. The text examines coordinate geometry, polynomial and rational functions, and exponential and logarithmic models, alongside analytic trigonometry, vectors, and systems of equations.

Learning is structured around Sullivan's Prepare, practice, review framework. This method guides students as they prepare for class, practice problem solving with homework exercises, and review essential mathematical concepts.
