Full Description
Clear explanations, an uncluttered and appealing layout, and examples and exercises featuring a variety of real-life applications have made this text popular among students year after year. This Enhanced Edition of Swokowski and Cole's PRECALCULUS: FUNCTIONS AND GRAPHS retains these features, and also has an additional chapter on Limits (Chapter 11) and an Appendix V that includes proofs related to this new chapter. The problems have been consistently praised for being at just the right level for precalculus students like you. The book also provides calculator examples, including specific keystrokes that show you how to use various graphing calculators to solve problems more quickly. Perhaps most important, this book effectively prepares you for further courses in mathematics.
