This title in the Homework Helpers series will reinforce mathematical
foundations and bolster students' confidence in pre-calculus. The
concepts are explained in everyday language before the examples are
worked. Good habits, such as checking your answers after every problem,
are reinforced.
There are practice problems throughout the book, and the answers to all
of the practice problems are included. The problems are solved clearly
and systematically, with step-by-step instructions provided.
Particular attention is placed on topics that students traditionally
struggle with the most. While this book could be used to supplement a
standard pre-calculus textbook, it could also be used by college
students or adult learners to refresh long-forgotten concepts and
skills.
Homework Helpers: Pre-Calculus is a straightforward and understandable
introduction to differential calculus and its applications. It covers
all of the topics in a typical Calculus class, including:
- Linear functions
- Polynomials
- Rational functions
- Exponential functions
- Logarithmic functions
- Systems of equations
This book also contains a review of the pre-calculus concepts that form
the foundation on which calculus is built.
