See the topics covered under "Elementary Functions (Precalculus)" which refers back to the tables of contents for College Algebra and Trigonometry.
The topics covered are standard in state articulation guides, for example, the 2019 Illinois Mathematics & Computer Science Articulation Guide. Reviewed by Ward Canfield, Adjunct Mathematics Faculty, College of DuPage on 4/19/21 I imagine some professors will lament the lack of rigor, but I think that was an intentional choice made for ease of reading for the target audience. I think it's a very good, student-centric book. I understand the importance of cultural inclusion, but in a math textbook there's not much to judge here.
Calculus textbook pdf#
I feel that the online view could take advantage of more features (hyperlinks, for example) but I understand the desire for consistency between the pdf version and the online version. This text follows the chapters and sections of most all pre-calculus texts.Īgain, the organization of pre-calculus is fairly standard across texts, and this text does not stray away from the herd. An advanced student or a teacher might occasionally find the rigor lacking, but most users will find it very readable. It seems to gloss over some things that are harder to understand and focus on the typical student's experience. The book is very clear, almost to a fault. There's not much changing in the world of pre-calculus, I can't imagine this book becoming outdated. I've found a few typos that were all quickly fixed in subsequent editions. The book covers all of the necessary topics, but is a little light on the proofs/justifications of some of the facts.
