In this extensive revision of their highly successful text (formerly "Mathematics for Calculus"), the authors present precalculus mathematics as a problem-solving endeavor with applications to the real world. With this new edition, the authors sharpen the clarity of the exposition while retaining the main features which have contributed the book's success. All ideas are explained simply and clearly, without glossing over difficult points. This comprehensive, evenly-paced new edition provides complete coverage of the function concept, and integrates substantial graphing calculator materials, which help students develop insight into mathematical ideas. This book is written with the same attention to detail and clarity as James Stewart's renowned Calculus series.
