Description

Designed for Students taking calculus with Early Transcendentals. Strong Algebra and Trigonometry skills are crucial to success in calculus. This text is designed to bolster these skills while students study calculus. As students make their way through the calculus course, this supplemental text shows them the relevant algebra or trigonometry topics and points out potential problem spots. The table of contents is organized so that the algebra and trigonometry topics are arranged in the order in which they are needed for calculus.


Features

  • Inverse trigonometric functions are included.
  • Extensive exercise sets, especially in the sections on word problems, exponentials, and logarithms. This will give more opportunity for students and professors to tailor exercises to their specific needs.
  • Precisely written text makes the presentation clear.
  • Only the odd-numbered exercises have answers in the back of the book, to allow teachers to assign homework problems in which students cannot "work toward the answer." However, the answers to the even-numbered exercises are available to professors online.
