Sommario/riassunto

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.
