Precalculus : Mathematics for Calculus by James Stewart

Precalculus : Mathematics for Calculus by James Stewart

This bestselling author team explains concepts simply and clearly, without glossing over difficult points. Problem solving and mathematical modeling are introduced early and reinforced throughout, providing students with a solid foundation in the principles of mathematical thinking. Comprehensive and evenly paced, the book provides complete coverage of the function concept, and integrates a significant amount of graphing calculator material to help students develop insight into mathematical ideas. The authors' attention to detail and clarity-the same as found in James Stewart's market-leading Calculus text-is what makes this text the proven market leader.
