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.

About the Author:
The late James Stewart received his M.S. from Stanford University and his Ph.D. from the University of Toronto. He did research at the University of London and was influenced by the famous mathematician George Polya at Stanford University. Stewart was most recently Professor of Mathematics at McMaster University, and his research field was harmonic analysis. Stewart was the author of a best-selling calculus textbook series published by Cengage Learning, including CALCULUS, CALCULUS: EARLY TRANSCENDENTALS, and CALCULUS: CONCEPTS AND CONTEXTS, as well as a series of precalculus texts.
Review:
"The main attraction for me to the book is the tone . . . it is rigorous enough for my students at Cornell, yet not stuffy and difficult to read. The amount of information in the book . . . suited my needs without being overwhelming."

"I like integrating the graphing calculator into the whole course. The examples in the calculator sections are very good. They illustrate many of the problems the students will encounter. Understanding the idea of function and its graph are essential in a precalculus course . . . this textbook does a good job in emphasizing their importance throughout the book."

"I have never had a complaint about this text, either from students or faculty. That says quite a bit around here. It has the opportunity to use technology, but also to skip it. This is important at many schools . . . that are not quite ready to 'take the plunge.' "
