Precalculus: Understanding Functions with Graphing Technology - Hardcover

Dr. Arthur Goodman (Ph.D., Yeshiva University) currently teaches in the mathematics department at Queens College of the City University of New York. Dr. Goodman takes great pride in the mathematical accuracy and in depth explanation in all of his textbooks. Lewis Hirsch (Ph.D., Pennsylvania State University) currently teaches in the mathematics department at Rutgers University. Dr. Hirsch teaches both developmental mathematics and higher level courses such as college algebra and pre-calculus. His experiences in the classroom make him committed to properly preparing students in lower-level courses so they can succeed in for credit courses, and this is reflected in the way he writes his textbooks.

This text focuses on understanding concepts rather than on presenting rote procedures, and blends the various topics and applications of contemporary precalculus. Graphical, algebraic and numeric perspectives are provided, offering a broad view of topics.
