About this title

About the Author

Earl Swokowski authored multiple editions of numerous successful textbooks, including CALCULUS; CALCULUS OF A SINGLE VARIABLE; FUNDAMENTALS OF COLLEGE ALGEBRA; and PRECALCULUS: FUNCTIONS AND GRAPHS, all published by Cengage Learning Brooks/Cole.

Jeffery A. Cole has been teaching mathematics and computer science at Anoka-Ramsey Community College since fall 1981. He started working on the Swokowski series of precalculus texts in 1985 as an ancillary author, and has been a co-author since 1991. His contribution to the Swokowski texts also includes joining the revision team of the calculus text in 1989.

Review

"There is about the right number of exercises, and there is a nice number of applications each time. The 'stories' attached to the application exercises are well developed and meaningful. I also like the use of illustrations to clarify the exercises. It is very helpful." "The exercises are well chosen and connect well with the text. They also go nicely from easier to harder at basically the right pace." "This text is carefully written. It does not oversimplify, but it is still accessible."

"Many mathematics textbooks are too concerned with rigor at the expense of understanding. This book has an adequate mix of rigor and conceptual development for comprehension."
