Dwyer and Gruenwald's PRECALCULUS builds on the same features as their very successful COLLEGE ALGEBRA, Second Edition and COLLEGE ALGEBRA AND TRIGONOMETRY, Second Edition , while adding material to help students look ahead to calculus. The book is organized around a traditional table of contents, and offers a contemporary flavor through the use of the rule of four, modeling, and a strong conceptual orientation. The authors motivate students by using outstanding contemporary applications that address important topical issues, as well as entertaining and illustrative ones. The applications are woven around a carefully paced presentation of algebra and trigonometry topics. A rich variety of exercises further engage and challenge students. In PRECALCULUS, the authors assume that students have access to a variety of graphing calculator models, so generic instruction is provided. Guidelines and keystrokes for specific calculators can be found in the free, text-specific online graphing calculator manual.
