The Precalculus Study Guide
The Precalculus Study Guide will help you master the maths
so necessary for success in calculus. It reveals the secrets of those
tricky calculus computations that often remain a mystery.
The
Precalculus Study Guide is an exercise-based electronic version of the
introductory chapter in the standard calculus text, providing solutions
to more than 60 problems. To maximise understanding, they are each given
in three formats: standard textbook format, with dedicated Maplet tutors,
and with Maple commands. High school and university students in, or contemplating
a calculus course, and students wanting additional insight into selected
topics in algebra and trigonometry would all benefit from this guide.
