EXCERPT: Preface - Like most books with similar titles, Contemporary Precalculus: A Graphing Approach is intended to provide the essential mathematical background needed in calculus for students who have had two or three years of high school mathematics. Unlike traditional texts, however, this one takes full advantage of the availability of relatively inexpensive graphing technology and effectively integrates it into the course, without losing sight of the fact that the underlying mathematics is the crucial issue. The book enables students to become active participants instead of passive observers, but avoids the very real danger of making technology an end in itself rather than a means of developing mathematical understanding. Graphing calculators and software enable students to explore mathematics on their own and deal with realistic applications in ways that were not previously feasible. Students can develop a more thorough intuitive understanding of the essential ideas and be better prepared to deal with a solid calculus course. Instructors can spend less time on "mechanics" and more on the underlying concepts. They can focus on the essentials, without getting bogged down in calculations that obscure the key ideas. The emphasis in the book, therefore, is on developing the concepts that play a central role in calculus by exploring these ideas from graphical, numerical, and algebraic perspectives. With the assistance of technology, the interplay between these viewpoints can be fully exploited to give students insight into what is going on and the confidence to work with it on their own. We have done our best to present sound mathematics in an informal manner that stresses meaningful motivation, careful explanations, and numerous examples, with an ongoing emphasis on real-world problem solving. In some instances, technology plays no role at all, but in others it provides a different emphasis or point of view that significantly changes the traditional treatment. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
