Product Description
Intended for precalculus courses requiring a graphing calculator, Functions and Change emphasizes the application of mathematics to real problems students encounter each day. Applications from a variety of disciplines, including Astronomy, Biology, and the Social Sciences, make concepts interesting for students who have difficulty with more theoretical coverage of mathematics. In addition to these meaningful applications, the authors' easy-to-read writing style allows students to see mathematics as a descriptive problem-solving tool. An extended version of the successful Functions and Change: A Modeling Approach to College Algebra, this text includes three chapters of trigonometry.

poor text May 7, 2008
Cole Smith
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I was forced to purchase this text for a math course and the
text was not very helpful to me since it is all problems. The book does not cover the "how" or the "why" effectively and was all problems with hardly any examples and explained concepts poorly. Thusly the text would have to be paired with a supplement to explain these items in a better fashion. your succcess with this text will depend on how willing your instructor is to help you and what kind of tutoring services are avalable to you at your school.
