As the best-seller in its field, Precalculus, 5/e, offers both instructors and students a more solid, comprehensive, and flexible program than ever before. Designed for the one- or two-term precalculus course, the text opens with moderate algebra review and introduces trigonometry first with a unit circle approach and then with the right triangle.For a complete listing of features, see Larson/Hostetler, College Algebra, 5/e.

"This title provides both students and instructors with sound, consistently structured explanations of the mathematical concepts." -- Google Books viewed January 21, 2021.

Precalculus: A Functional Approach to Graphing and Problem Solving prepares students for the concepts and applications they will encounter in future calculus courses. In far too many texts, process is stressed over insight and understanding, and students move on to calculus ill equipped to think conceptually about its essential ideas. This text provides sound development of the important mathematical underpinnings of calculus, stimulating problems and exercises, and a well-developed, engaging pedagogy. Students will leave with a clear understanding of what lies ahead in their future calculus courses. Instructors will find that Smith's straightforward, student-friendly presentation provides exactly what they have been looking for in a text!

The team of teachers and mathematicians who created Eureka Math believe that it's not enough for students to know the process for solving a problem; they need to know why that process works. That's why students who learn math with Eureka can solve real-world problems, even those they have never encountered before. The Study Guides are a companion to the Eureka Math program, whether you use it online or in print. The guides collect the key components of the curriculum for each grade in a single volume. They also unpack the standards in detail so that anyone even non-Eureka users can benefit. The guides are particularly helpful for teachers or trainers seeking to undertake or lead a meaningful study of the grade level content in a way that highlights the coherence between modules and topics. We're here to make sure you succeed with an ever-growing library of resources. Take advantage of the full set of Study Guides available for each grade, PK-12, or materials at eureka-math.org such as free implementation and pacing guides, material lists, parent resources, and more.

Contains solutions to all odd-numbered exercises for Precalculus and Calculus I material. (Student Solutions are also available for the odd exercises in the precalculus material at the beginning of the text).
