The new 1st edition of Cynthia Young's Precalculus helps to bridge the gap between in-class work and homework by helping students overcome common learning barriers and build confidence in their ability to do mathematics. The text features unique, strong pedagogy and is written in a clear, single voice that speaks directly to students and mirrors how instructors communicate in lectures. In this text, Young enables students to become independent, successful learners by including multiple exercise types, more opportunities to use technology, and a themed modeling project that empowers students to apply what they have learned in the classroom to the world outside the classroom. The seamlessly integrated digital and print resources to accompany Precalculus offer additional tools for both instructors and students in order to help students experience success. Precalculus is suited for a 1 or 2 semester course and will focus on different learning styles. There will also be an emphasis on more challenging problems as well as streamlined prose to quicken the pace of the book.
