Books a la Carte are unbound, three-hole-punch versions of the
textbook. This lower cost option is easy to transport and comes with
same access code or media that would be packaged with the bound book.
Ratti and McWaters wrote this series with the primary goal of
preparing students to be successful in calculus. Having taught both
calculus and precalculus, the authors saw firsthand where students would
struggle, where they needed help making connections, and what material
they needed in order to succeed in calculus. Their experience in the
classroom shows in each chapter, where they emphasize conceptual
development, real-life applications, and extensive exercises to
encourage a deeper understanding.
With a new addition to the series, Precalculus Essentials, this text
offers the best of both worlds: fast-paced, rigorous topics and a
friendly, "teacherly" tone. This text is developed with a focus on key
topics for calculus preparation.
KEY TOPICS: Basic Concepts of Algebra, Graphs and Functions,
Polynomial and Rational Functions, Exponential and Logarithmic
Functions, Trigonometric Functions, Applications of Trigonometric
Functions, Further Topics in Algebra
MARKET: For all readers interested in the essentials of precalculus
necessary for calculus.
