Precalculus limits book in Mathematics Books

Description:

<p>With the same design and feature sets as the market leading <i>Precalculus,</i> 7/e, this new addition to the Larson/Hostetler Precalculus series provides both students and instructors with sound, consistently structured explanations of the mathematical concepts. Designed for a two-term course, this text contains the features that have made <i>Precalculus</i> a complete solution for both students and instructors: interesting applications, cutting-edge design, and innovative technology combined with an abundance of carefully written exercises. In addition to a brief algebra review and the core precalculus topics, <i>Precalculus with Limits</i> covers analytic geometry in three dimensions and introduces concepts covered in calculus.</p><ul><li><i>Side-by-side Example Solutions</i> for select examples include multiple problem solving approaches-such as algebraic, graphical, and numerical-to appeal to a variety of teaching and learning styles.<li><i>Checkpoints</i> after each Example/Solution refer students to similar drills in the Section Exercises, allowing students to practice and reinforce the concepts they just learned. Answers to Checkpoints are included at the back of the book.<li><i>New!</i> <i>Vocabulary Checks</i> open every set of Section Exercises. This review of mathematical terms, formulas, and theorems provides regular assessment and reinforcement of students&#039; understanding of algebraic language and concepts.<li><i>Exercise Sets</i> have been carefully analyzed and revised to improve the categorization of problems from <i>basic skill-building</i> to <i>challenging;</i> improve the pairing of similar odd- and even-numbered exercises; update all real data; and add real-life and real-data applications.<li><i>New!</i> <i>Make a Decision</i> applications-presented throughout the text at the end of selected exercise sets-are based on large sets of real data. These extended modeling applications give students the opportunity to use all the mathematical concepts and techniques they&#039;ve learned and apply them to large sets of real date-analyzing it, graphing it, and making conjectures about its behavior. These applications are featured in Eduspace and the Online Learning Center in an interactive format.<li><i>Eduspace, powered by Blackboard,</i> Houghton Mifflin&#039;s online learning environment, brings your students quality online homework, tutorials, multimedia, and testing that correspond to the <i>Precalculus with Limits</i> text. This content is paired with the recognized course management tools of Blackboard.</ul>

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" soNormal>This edition has evolved to address the needs of today's student. While maintaining its unique table of contents and functions-based approach, the text now includes additional components to build skill, address critical thinking, solve applications, and apply technology to support traditional algebraic solutions. It continues to incorporate an open design, helpful features, careful explanations of topics, and a comprehensive package of supplements and study aids to provide new and relevant opportunities for learning and teaching. </P>

Description:

<p>As part of the market-leading <i>Graphing Approach</i> Series by Larson, Hostetler, and Edwards, <i>Precalculus with Limits: A Graphing Approach,</i> 4/e, provides both students and instructors with a sound mathematics course in an approachable, understandable format. The quality and quantity of the exercises, combined with interesting applications, cutting-edge design, and innovative resources, make teaching easier and help students succeed in mathematics. This edition, intended for precalculus courses that require the use of a graphing calculator, includes a moderate review of algebra to help students entering the course with weak algebra skills.</p><ul><li>Enhanced accessibility to students is achieved through careful writing and design, including same-page examples and solutions, which maximize the readability of the text. Similarly, side-by-side solutions show algebraic, visual, and numeric representations of the mathematics to support students&#039; various learning styles.<li>The <i>Library of Functions</i> thread throughout the text provides a definition and list of characteristics for each elementary function and compares newly introduced functions to those already presented to increase students&#039; understanding of these important concepts. A <i>Library of Functions Summary</i> also appears inside the front cover for quick reference.<li><i>Technology Support</i> notes provided at point-of-use throughout the text guide students to the <i>Technology Support Appendix,</i> where they can learn how to use specific graphing calculator features to enhance their understanding of the concepts presented. These notes also direct students to the <i>Graphing Technology Guide</i> on the textbook web site for keystroke support.<li>Houghton Mifflin&#039;s <i>Eduspace</i> online classroom management tool offers instructors the option to assign homework and tests online, provides tutorial support for students needing additional help, and includes the ability to grade any of these assignments automatically.</ul>
