Introduction
Here you are: ready to take on these challenging pre-calculus topics — possibly on your way to calculus! Believe it or not, it was calculus that was responsible for my switching majors and taking on the exciting world of mathematics!
Pre-calculus books and classes are wonderful ways of taking the mathematics you’ve studied in the past and bolstering the experience with new, exciting, and challenging material. Some of what is presented in pre-calculus is review, but studying it and adding on to the topics is what will make you even more of a success in your next endeavor.
Maybe some of the concepts you’ve already covered in pre-calculus have given you a hard time, or perhaps you just want more practice. Maybe you’re deciding whether you even want to take pre-calculus and then calculus at all. This book fits the bill to help you with your decision for all those reasons. And it’s here to encourage you on your pre-calculus adventure.
You’ll find this book has many examples, valuable practice problems, and complete explanations.

This book, however, is a great stand-alone resource if you need extra practice or want to just brush up in certain areas.
