Summary

This text provides a strong foundation to precalculus that focuses on a small number of key topics thereby emphasizing depth of understanding rather than breath of coverage. It provides a solid way to motivate concepts and develop critical thinking skills. The new fourth edition emphasizes functions as models of change. It contains superior exercises and applications that motivate the concepts readers can use to fully grasp precalculus.
