Precalculus (7th Edition) Description:

Precalculus (7th Edition) review:
5 stars (Good book. Especially With Solution Manual.) - Bought the teachers edition and 2 solution manual books (1500+pages each) all for 63 bucks. BRAND NEW!



Anyways, this book I find to be a lot better than many many of the other math text books out there. What is nice about this book is the simple fact that it doesn't try as hard to fool you as the others. Other text books seem to be written by people that are really advanced and think, in a way, that we are as well. They sometimes don't realize that the stuff they put down into text books might be a lot harder to someone that doesn't have a firm gasp and understanding as they have.



I mean...don't you hate text books that give you examples and solutions, but all of the examples are of easy problems and the ones that you do want to know are not shown? In highschool, I didn't know weither to use my math text books to learn or use it as heating fuel for the winter nights. Listening to the teacher wasn't very helpful because he followed the pace of his more advance nerdy students and using the book to catch up helped as much as little if nothing.



This book, however, can actually teach you pretty much everything step by step, especially if you use it with the solutions manual which shows you step by step how the answers are achieved. For once, I'm learning more from the book than from the teacher. They should hire the book, it would be cheaper. I'm sure the book will grade us by a curve as well and be nicer to us. This whole summer semester I've been learning almost everything from the book, the teacher is just extra.



The way the book is made, its an accumalative (spelled wrongly I bet) kind of thing. You can learn it all if you go through it from a to z, beginnig to end. Of course you'll still need guidance here and there, but it is made so clearly that it gives you a peace of mind. Suddenly, the secret codes are being decoded.



A pretty looking book that'll probably cost you a bundle (USED in textbook store for $109!?) however is all worth it. Spend your money on something that is really worth it and get this, solutions manual about $35 more or less.



COLLEGE MATH: 1+1=3 (Learn it well young grasshopper, cause one day, we shall see which affects the other more)
5 stars (GREAT, WONDERFUL, SPECTACULAR) - THis book is fabulous. There are clear examples with step by step instruction. It has good applications in the real world and the problems are wonderful and challenging.
5 stars (Awesome Textbook) - As a teenager would say, '..this book is awesome..'. I purchased this book as a reference textbook. I have a huge library of current Calculus, Linear Algebra, and Prob. & Stats textbooks as I have been tutoring high school and University students for many years in Mathematics, Physics, & Chemistry. This is the first math book that I have purchased written by Sullivan and I can categorically state that it is one of the best written math books that I have used. It explains Precalculus math concepts in clear, concise, easily comprehensible fashion with an excellent selection of problem exercises. I am planning to purchase a Calculus book written by Sullivan.I am sure it will be as excellent as those written by Anton, Stein, Stewart, et al. I can say that anyone who has difficulty understanding this book should not be taking math.
