Book Description

This book is a college level text in precalculus and trigonometry.

Problem solving and mathematical modeling are introduced early and reinforced throughout, providing students with a solid foundation in the principles of mathematical thinking. Comprehensive and evenly paced, the book provides complete coverage of the function concept, and integrates a significant amount of graphing calculator material to help students develop insight into mathematical ideas.

• David Lippman received his master’s degree in mathematics from Western Washington University and has been teaching at Pierce College since Fall 2000. Melonie Rasmussen also received her master’s degree in mathematics from Western Washington University and has been teaching at Pierce College since Fall 2002.

• Calculus Made Easy (Silvanus P. Thompson)

  This book is a popular math book to help modern readers of all levels understand the subject on calculus through simple way and explanation. It's not just theory-based but contains exercises and answers so you can practice the understanding for each chapter.

• Exercises and Problems in Calculus (John M. Erdman)

  Ideal for self-instruction as well as for classroom use, this text helps students improve their understanding and problem-solving skills in analysis, analytic geometry, and higher algebra.

• Teaching and Learning of Calculus (David Bressoud, et al.)

  Focuses on the main trends in the field of calculus education. Despite their variety, the findings reveal a cornerstone issue that is strongly linked to the formalism of calculus concepts and to the difficulties it generates in the learning and teaching process.

• Calculus: Theory and Applications (Kenneth Kuttler)

  This is a book on single variable calculus including most of the important applications of calculus. It also includes proofs of all theorems presented, either in the text itself, or in an appendix. It also contains an introduction to vectors and vector products.

• Advanced Calculus (Lynn H. Loomis, et al)

  Problem solving and mathematical modeling are introduced early and reinforced throughout, providing students with a solid foundation in the principles of mathematical thinking.

• Active Calculus (Matt Boelkins)

  Rather than detailed explanations and worked out examples, this book uses activities intended to be done by the students in order to present the standard concepts and computational techniques of calculus.

• Vector Calculus (Michael Corral)

  This is a text on elementary multivariable calculus, designed for students who have completed courses in single-variable calculus. Concepts are amply illustrated with figures, worked examples, and physical applications.

• Calculus (WikiBooks)

  This wikibook aims to be a high quality calculus textbook through which users can master the discipline. Standard topics such as limits, differentiation and integration are covered, as well as several others.

• Elementary Real Analysis (Brian S. Thomson, et al)

  This book is written in a rigorous, yet reader friendly style with motivational and historical material that emphasizes the 'big picture' and makes proofs seem natural rather than mysterious.
