Lippman D. Precalculus. An Investigation of Functions 2012 Rep torrent

Textbook in PDF format

This is last edition of the textbook covering a two-quarter pre-calculus sequence including trigonometry. The book is offered in a traditional format in which exercises follow each section. Many of errors in the 1st edition have been corrected in this Edition
The first portion of the book is an investigation of functions, exploring the graphical behavior of, interpretation of, and solutions to problems involving linear, polynomial, rational, exponential, and logarithmic functions. An emphasis is placed on modeling and interpretation, as well as the important characteristics needed in calculus.
The second portion of the book introduces trigonometry. Trig is introduced through an integrated circle/triangle approach. Identities are introduced in the first chapter, and revisited throughout. Likewise, solving is introduced in the second chapter and revisted more extensively in the third chapter. As with the first part of the book, an emphasis is placed on motivating the concepts and on modeling and interpretation.
