Precalculus: An Investigation of Functions

This book is a free, open textbook covering a two-quarter pre-calculus sequence including trigonometry. The first portion of the book is an investigation of functions, exploring the graphical behavior of, interpretation of, and solutions to problems involving linear, polynomial, rational, exponential, and logarithmic functions. An emphasis is placed on modeling and interpretation, as well as the important characteristics needed in calculus. The second portion of the book introduces trigonometry. Trig is introduced through an integrated circle/triangle approach. Identities are introduced in the first chapter, and revisited throughout. Likewise, solving is introduced in the second chapter and revisted more extensively in the third chapter. As with the first part of the book, an emphasis is placed on motivating the concepts and on modeling and interpretation. In addition to the paper homework sets, algorithmically generated online homework is available as part of a complete course shell package, which also includes a sample syllabus, teacher notes with lecture examples, sample quizzes and exams, printable classwork sheets and handouts, and chapter review problems.

High School Math Textbook

Precalculus: Graphical, Numerical, Algebraic

NIMAC-sourced textbook

Precalculus: Graphical, Numerical, Algebraic

Precalculus: Graphical, Numerical, Algebraic This textbook is written to address current and emerging state curriculum standards. In particular, we embrace NCTM's Focus in High School Mathematics: Reasoning and Sense Making and its emphasis on the importance of helping students make sense of and reason using mathematics. The NCTM's Principles and Standards for School Mathematics identified five "Process Standards" that should be fundamental in mathe­matics education. The first of these standards was Problem Solving. Since then, the emphasis on problem solving has continued to grow, to the point that it is now integral to the instructional process in many mathematics classrooms. When the Common Core State Standards in Mathematics detailed eight "Standards for Mathematical Practice" that should be fundamental in mathematics education, again the first of these addressed problem solving. Individual states have also released their own standards over the years, and problem solving is invariably front and center as a fundamental objective. Problem solving, reasoning, sense making, and the related processes and practices of mathematics are central to the approach we use in Precalculus: Graphical, Numerical, Algebraic.

Precalculus: Graphical, Numerical, Algebraic

Precalculus: Graphical, Numerical, Algebraic (7th Edition)

In this new edition of Precalculus,Seventh Edition, the authors encourage graphical, numerical, and algebraic modeling of functions as well as a focus on problem solving, conceptual understanding, and facility with technology. They responded to many helpful suggestions provided by students and teachers in order to create a book that is designed for instructors and written for students. As a result, we believe that the changes made in this edition make this the most effective precalculus text available today.

Precalculus: Graphical, Numerical, Algebraic (7th edition)

In this Seventh Edition of Precalculus, a book that is designed for instructors and written for students, the authors encourage graphical, numerical, and algebraic modeling of functions as well as a focus on problem solving, conceptual understanding, and facility with technology.

Precalculus: Graphical, Numerical, Algebraic (Eighth Edition)

This textbook has faithfully incorporated not only the teaching strategies that have made Calculus: Graphical, Numerical, Algebraic so popular, but also some of the strategies from the popular Prentice Hall high school algebra series, and thus has produced a seamless pedagogical transition from prealgebra through calculus for students.

Precalculus: Graphical, Numerical, Algebraic (Sixth Edition)

This textbook helps students truly understand the fundamental concepts of algebra, trigonometry, and analytic geometry, foreshadows important ideas of calculus, and shows how algebra and trigonometry can be used to model real-life problems.

Precalculus: Graphical, Numerical, Algebraic (Texas Edition)

This textbook is written to address the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) topics. With the Texas edition we embrace the growing importance and wide applicability of Statistics. Because Statistics is increasingly used in college coursework, the workplace, and everyday life, we have added a new Chapter 10 to help students see that statistical analysis is an investigative process that turns loosely formed ideas into scientific studies. Our five sections on data analysis, probability, and statistical literacy are aligned with the GAISE Report published by the American Statistical Association and the College Board's AP Statistics curriculum.

Precalculus: Graphs And Models

NIMAC-sourced textbook

Precalculus: Graphs and Models, A Right Triangle Approach

For courses in precalculus. Visualize. Interact. Succeed. The Graphs and Models series by Bittinger, Beecher, Ellenbogen, and Penna is known for helping students “see the math” through its focus on visualization and technology. These texts continue to maintain the features that have helped students succeed for years: focus on functions, visual emphasis, side-by-side algebraic and graphical solutions, and real-data applications. With the Sixth Edition, visualization is taken to a new level with technology, and students find even more ongoing review.

Precalculus: Mathematics For Calculus, 7th Student Edition

Precalculus: Mathematics for Calculus

Stewart (McMaster University) provides a text/CD-ROM package for students preparing to study calculus. The main change in this fifth edition is an expanded emphasis on modeling and applications. In each section, applications exercises have been expanded and grouped together, and each chapter now ends with a focus on modeling. The chapter on analytic trigonometry has been divided into two chapters, and new discovery projects, mathematical vignettes, and exercises have been included. Chapter overviews are also new. The CD-ROM contains video instruction on text topics. Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc. , Portland, OR (booknews. com)
