 The Complete Idiot's Guide to Precalculus March 3, 2007

This book is worth its weight in gold. However, it is not a substitute for a complete textbook. Mr. Kelley has a gift. He makes algebra and trigonometry easy to understand. My students rave about The Complete Idiot's Guide to Precalculus. Regardless of your ability level this book will significantly increase your insight and understanding. Many teachers can do precalculus. There are not a lot of teachers who are good at explaining precalculus. W Michael Kelley is great. The Complete Idiot's Guide to Precalculus is so good I felt compelled to write this review. You will cherish the book.

This is the best book to start heading into calculus. Every subject in precalculus had been made very easy to understand with precise examples and answers to all examples in the appendix WITH detailed explanations. There was not one subject in this book that I could not understand. I used it primarily as a review since it has been 3 years since I touched calculus, but the material was presented very down to earth.

The author accomplishes what he sets out to do,to make precalculus easily understandable. The humerous tone of the book makes for a relaxed atmosphere in which to learn. Whether approaching the subject matter for the first time,or just becoming reacquainted , this is a worthy addition to your library

A very good book for learning the basics of precalculus with clear explanations. It was full of clear examples of almost all the topics in a precalculus course. Some sections could have used additional example problems but overall the book covered precalculus well.
