Best Popular & Elementary Pre-Calculus

Comprehensive and evenly paced, the book provides complete coverage of the function concept, and integrates a significant amount of graphing calculator material to help students develop insight into mathematical ideas. Stewart was the author of a best-selling calculus textbook series published by Cengage Learning, including CALCULUS, CALCULUS: EARLY TRANSCENDENTALS, and CALCULUS: CONCEPTS AND CONTEXTS, as well as a series of precalculus texts.

Subsequent chapters focus on specific subject areas, such as "Logic and Mathematics," "Number: The Fundamental Concept," "Parametric Equations and Curvilinear Motion," "The Differential Calculus," and "The Theory of Probability." His lucid treatment of this difficult subject starts in the 1800s with the pioneering work of Gauss, Lobachevsky, Bolyai and Riemann, and moves forward to the theory of relativity, explaining the mathematical, scientific and philosophical aspects of this pivotal breakthrough. Morris Kline: Mathematics for the Masses Morris Kline (1908–1992) had a strong and forceful personality which he brought both to his position as Professor at New York University from 1952 until his retirement in 1975, and to his role as the driving force behind Dover's mathematics reprint program for even longer, from the 1950s until just a few years before his death. Morris Kline was the author or editor of more than a dozen books, including Mathematics in Western Culture (Oxford, 1953), Mathematics: The Loss of Certainty (Oxford, 1980), and Mathematics and the Search for Knowledge (Oxford, 1985).

Pre-Calculus For Dummies is an un-intimidating, hands-on guide that walks you through all the essential topics, from absolute value and quadratic equations to logarithms and exponential functions to trig identities and matrix operations. Pre-calculus 101 — get a review of the Algebra II you need to know, real numbers, and how to graph, solve, and perform operations with functions. — take a tour of the essentials of trigonometry, from angles, right triangles, and trig ratios to graphing the parent graph of the six basic trig functions. Keep it simple — discover how to simplify trig expressions and solve for an unknown variable using formulas and identities (and solve triangles that aren't right triangles using Law of Sines and Law of Cosines). Not just plane thinking — delve into analytic geometry and system solving with the understanding of complex numbers, polar-coordinate graphing, conics, systems of equations, sequences, and more.

This book contains printouts of 47 Powerpoint presentations on topics covered by the first half of Pre-Calculus and SAT courses. These lecture notes can be used for both review and learning, and are a perfect fit for every student no matter their current knowledge of Pre-Calculus. Our books are written by Mrs. Rita Korsunsky, a High School Mathematics Teacher with many years of experience teaching Pre-Calculus and AP Calculus.

Secrets of Mental Math will have you thinking like a math genius in no time. “A great introduction to the wonder of numbers, from two superb teachers.” —Brian Greene, author of The Elegant Universe “A magical mystery tour of mental mathematics! Michael Shermer is host of the Caltech public lecture series, a contributing editor to and monthly columnist of Scientific American , the publisher of Skeptic magazine, and the author of several science books.

Learning math not only requires strong fundamentals but also a lot of practice, and making mistakes is part of that process. The various techniques mentioned in this book if practiced or taught to students in the correct manner will help them reducing the quantum of stupid mistakes to a minimal and will further improve their confidence. The book also includes a collection of 100 most common silly mistakes committed by students in Arithmetic , Algebra , Trigonometry , Calculus and other branches of Mathematics across the globe in the age group of 10 to 18 years.
