What’s the sure road to success in calculus? The answer is simple: Precalculus.
Traditionally studied after Algebra II, this mathematical field covers advanced algebra, trigonometry, exponents, logarithms, and much more. These interrelated topics are essential for solving calculus problems, and by themselves are powerful methods for describing the real world, permeating all areas of science and every branch of mathematics. Little wonder, then, that precalculus is a core course in high schools throughout the country and an important review subject in college.
Unfortunately, many students struggle in precalculus because they fail to see the links between different topics, between one approach to finding an answer and a startlingly different, often miraculously simpler, technique. As a result, they lose out on the enjoyment and fascination of mastering an amazingly useful toolbox of problem-solving strategies.
And even if you’re not planning to take calculus, understanding the fundamentals of precalculus can give you a versatile set of skills that can be applied to a wide range of fields, from computer science and engineering to business and health care.
Mathematics Describing the Real World: Precalculus and Trigonometry is your unrivalled introduction to this crucial subject, taught by award-winning Professor Bruce Edwards of the University of Florida. Professor Edwards is a coauthor of one of the most widely used precalculus textbooks and an expert at helping students overcome the trouble spots of this challenging phase of their mathematics education.
