Written by David Cohen and co-authors Theodore B. Lee and David Sklar, PRECALCULUS, Seventh Edition, focuses on the use of a graphical perspective to provide a visual understanding of college algebra and trigonometry. Cohen’s texts are known for their clear writing style and outstanding, graded exercises and applications, including many examples and exercises involving applications and real-life data. Combining material from two other Cohen texts, the Seventh Edition accommodates the introduction of trigonometry with either a right-triangle approach or a unit-circle approach. Graphs, visualization of data, and functions are introduced and emphasized early on to aid student understanding. Although the text provides thorough treatment of the graphing calculator, the material is arranged to allow instructors to teach the course with as much or as little graphing utility work as they wish.
