Precalculus: Graphical, Numerical, Algebraic

The book was rated to be in GOOD condition. It actually looks to be brand new. We were extremely satisfied.

The Perfect Precalculus Book

First off this book looks pretty. It is very hard for me(as a student) to want to do the homework for a book that is dull and boring. This book covers all of the needed chapters and concepts that are needed for Calculus. It first begins reviewing what the student should have learned in previous Algebra, Geometry, and Trigonometry classes. It then takes these problems to the next level. While most books show you complicated math expressions and equations to explain a rule, this book both explains it in an easy to understand way, and it shows it in simple and complex expressions and equations. It also walks you through some great examples for every section of every chapter. This book also has calculator views for all of the examples; this includes graphs and multi entry calculations. The Chapters are separated nicely and are in an appropriate order. On the inside cover and first and last page, are formulas, basic graphs, and many more basic mathematical concepts that students will learn (or have learned). This book also does a small chapter introducing some calculus concepts, which helps in the transition from Precalculus to Calculus. Answer to all of the odd problems are located in the back, (although the actual work does not appear in the back), even the graphs of graphic problems. I recommend this book for students who plan to buy a Precalculus textbook.

Great

The book was in perfect condition and was mailed fast. The packaging was a bit skimpy but there was no damage to the book.

Precalculus: Geographical, Numerical, Algebriac (7th Edition)

My daugher has to use this book for 10th grade glass. She likes it though because it shows how to do the problems. You can actually use it to see how to complete an assignment. That seems like a given, but was not the case with previous texts she had to use.
