Precalculus Essentials is based on learning objectives whose goal is to cover only the essential topics needed to be successful in Calculus. This text offers the best of both worlds: a fast-paced approach with rigorous topics and a friendly, "teacherly" tone. Ratti and McWaters created their text from years of combined lecture notes and firsthand experience with students, resulting in a strong preparation for calculus. An emphasis on concept development, real-life applications, and extensive exercises encourage deep understanding for students. MyMathLab provides a rich and flexible set of course materials, featuring free-response exercises correlated directly to the textbook that instructors can assign for online homework, quizzes, and tests. MyLab and Mastering from Pearson improve results for students and educators. Used by over ten million students, they effectively engage learners at every stage.
MyMathLab provides students with a personalized interactive learning environment, where they can learn at their own pace and measure their progress.
For students
MyMathLab's homework and practice exercises are correlated to the exercises in the textbook, and they regenerate algorithmically to give students unlimited opportunity for practice and mastery.
It has a full eBook with a variety of multimedia resources available directly from selected examples and exercises on the page.
There is also a personalized Study Plan for each student based on his or her test results, and the Study Plan links directly to interactive, tutorial exercises for topics the student hasn't yet mastered.
For educators
Powerful homework and test manager - create, import, and manage online homework assignments, quizzes, and tests that are automatically graded, allowing you to spend less time grading and more time teaching.
The MathXL Exercise Builder (MEB) for MyMathLab lets you create static and algorithmic online exercises for your online assignments.

J.S.Ratti has been teaching mathematics at all levels for over 35 years. He is currently a full professor of mathematics and director of the Center for Mathematical Services at the University of South Florida. Professor Ratti is the author of numerous research papers in analysis, graph theory, and probability. He has won several awards for excellence in undergraduate teaching at University of South Florida and is known as the coauthor of a successful finite mathematics textbook. Marcus McWaters is currently the chair of the Mathematics Department at the University of South Florida, a position he has held for the last eleven years. Since receiving his PhD in mathematics from the University of Florida, he has taught all levels of undergraduate and graduate courses, with class sizes ranging from 3 to 250. As chair, he has worked intensively to structure a course delivery system for lower level courses that would improve the low retention rate these courses experience across the country. When not involved with mathematics or administrative activity, he enjoys playing racquetball, spending time with his two daughters, and traveling the world with his wife.
