There are tons of textbooks on Precalculus like this one out there. Larson's is just another equally good textbook on the subject of calculus and Precalculus. However, I see no much uniqueness and innovations in any of the calculus books like this type. Richard Feynman, one of America's greatest physicists, once said most of the popular textbooks (on physics) were somewhat mediocre. I would recommend those who are aspired for an austere treatment of elementary mathematics, ie, pre-calculus and beginning calculus, to go for the book High-school mathematics by some Russian mathematicians. ISBN: 5030010114 This series is just so comprehensive with lucid explanations that every high school math teacher should take a look at it. It's both fun and benefitial to read books on math translated from another language.

For me math has always been my best subject but since using this book in my precalculus class i have become more confused than ever. in my last math class i recieved a 3.9, in my precalculus class i have a 1.8. just thought i'd let everyone know that i have had trouble with the text of this book.

I was not too thrilled with this book. If you're into memorizing math, then it's great. If you want to know WHY things are the way they are, you'll end up relying more on other textbooks, which is what I did in the end. I used it for a college undergrad course.
 How many errors is too many? February 29, 2008

This and the student guide have enough errors in the solutions that it'll have you questioning your work. Thank goodness for a patient professor (and I'm an A student). The sections don't cover very well the material in the questions at the end of the chapter. It is written a little better than the Algebra book by the same authors but if this can be avoided, avoid it. My own professor doesnt teach out of it, just assigns work from the end of the chapters...thats how bad it is.
