Functions Modeling Change: A Preparation for Calculus

Functions Modeling Change: A Preparation for Calculus by Connally, Eric. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780470484753.

This text provides a strong foundation to precalculus that focuses on a small number of key topics thereby emphasising depth of understanding rather than breath of coverage. It provides a solid way to motivate concepts and develop critical thinking skills. The new fourth edition emphasises functions as models of change. It contains superior exercises and applications that motivate the concepts students can use to fully grasp precalculus.
