Best Teen & Young Adult Advanced Math
Soon she's spending her Saturdays with geeky, bespectacled Mr. Yamamoto, who patiently teaches her all about the fundamentals of statistics: topics like data categorization, averages, graphing, and standard deviation. Reluctant statistics students of all ages will enjoy learning along with Rui in this charming, easy-to-read guide, which uses real-world examples like teen magazine quizzes, bowling games, test scores, and ramen noodle prices. As Rui gamely struggles through some basic lessons, readers learn about distribution tables and deviation scores. Readers can learn much about the subject by just reading the cartoon, but they will gain a more thorough understanding by working through the other three sections in each chapter.

By the time they get to this, they have spent so many pages churning through their motivating examples that they don't have room to cover the math sufficiently for the student to understand it. Knowing the math first put me light-years ahead of most of my fellow students when it came to solving the applications problems in the class (and its textbook). There are a few cases in which, after developing a more advanced topic, Brown goes back and revisits something earlier, but with new insights into the situation. Suffice it to say, read Brown actively, and take notes as you see necessary to supplement his explanations with your own insights into understanding the topic. For this purpose, I find Brown's presentation superior to books directed toward refreshing, such as Schaum's outlines. Also note that texts that teach too much through motivating examples are less useful for later reference; you have to wade through too much extraneous material just to find out how to do a technique that you have forgotten. In conclusion, use Brown as a capstone of a solid precalculus program (preferably with the books I list above), and you will be in good mathematical shape for whatever you follow it with."
"As a private tutor for years, it's the best for high school students to learn in advance."
"A solution key is available for this book: Advanced Math: Precalculus with Discrete Mathematics and Data Analysis (Solution Key). Some have complained that the book doesn't give adequate explanations, but the reality is that this book is for students who have a good background in mathematics."
"as described and saved me a ton of $$ to replace my daughters lost book."
"Great book."
"required book still adjusting to change."
"Not in an acceptable form as stated."
Mr. Seki teaches Noriko how to: –Use differentiation to understand a function's rate of change. –Apply the fundamental theorem of calculus, and grasp the relationship between a function's derivative and its integral. –Integrate and differentiate trigonometric and other complicated functions. –Use multivariate calculus and partial differentiation to deal with tricky functions. –Use Taylor Expansions to accurately imitate difficult functions with polynomials.
