Precalculus: Functions & Graphs provides a complete and self-contained presentation of the basic mathematical techniques and ideas required for the successful completion of a calculus course. The book emphasizes the learning and understanding of the concept of a function, using function notation, and being able to sketch graphs of functions with ease. The text employs a number of pedagogic devices that have been proven effective in teaching college mathematics. The mathematical concepts are presented in a style that is informal, supportive, and "user-friendly". Progress checks, warnings, and features are inserted. Every chapter contains a summary, including terms and symbols with appr This textbook is intended for college students.

The Eighth Edition of this well respected text - part of Swokowski/Cole series of mathematics texts - features updated discussions to enable students to more easily understand the mathematical concepts; new exercises that require students to estimate, approximate, interpret a result, write a summary, create a model, explore, or find a generalization; and more examples and exercises that use graphing calculators. These changes have been incorporated without sacrificing the mathematical soundness that has been paramount to the success of this text and series.

The Barnett, Ziegler, Byleen College Algebra series is designed to be user friendly and to maximize student comprehension. The goal of this series is to emphasize computational skills, ideas, and problem solving rather than mathematical theory. Precalculus introduces a unit circle approach to trigonometry and can be used in one or two semester college algebra with trig or precalculus courses. The large number of pedagogical devices employed in this text will guide a student through the course. Integrated throughout the text, students and instructors will find Explore-Discuss boxes which encourage students to think critically about mathematical concepts. In each section, the worked examples are followed by matched problems that reinforce the concept being taught. In addition, the text contains an abundance of exercises and applications that will convince students that math is useful. A Smart CD is packaged with the seventh edition of the book. This CD reinforces important concepts, and provides students with extra practice problems.

This text, intended for a graphing calculator required precalculus course, shows students when and how to use concepts, and promotes real understanding not just rote memorization. In addition, the graphing calculator is used as a tool to help explain ideas rather than merely to find answers. The book reflects AMATYC, MAA, and NCTM guidelines, and makes use of real world data in presenting a balanced algebraic and graphical approach to understanding precalculus concepts. The result is a thorough preparation for the calculus course.

As the best seller in its field, Precalculus Functions and Graphs: A Graphing Approach, is the choice for precalculus courses that require students to use graphing technology, begin with a faster paced algebra review, and introduce trigonometry first with a unit circle approach, then the right triangle. The Third Edition offers both instructors and students a more solid, comprehensive, and flexible program than ever before.For a complete listing of features, see Larson/Hostetler/Edwards, College Algebra: A Graphing Approach, 3/e.

Test Bank for Precalculus: Functions & Graphs is a supplementary material for the text, Precalculus: Functions & Graphs. The book is intended for use by mathematics teachers. The book contains standard tests for each chapter in the textbook. Each set of test focuses on gauging the level of knowledge the student has achieved during the course. The answers for each chapter test and the final exam are found at the end of the book. Mathematics teachers teaching calculus will find the book extremely useful.

Dugopolski’sPrecalculus: Functions and Graphs, Fourth Edition gives students the essential strategies they need to make the transition to calculus. The author’s emphasis on problem solving and critical thinking is enhanced by the addition of 900 exercises including new vocabulary and cumulative review problems. Students will find carefully placed learning aids and review tools to help them learn the math without getting distracted. Along the way, students see how the algebra connects to their future calculus courses, with tools like Foreshadowing Calculus and Concepts of Calculus.
