This streamlined text provides all the mathematics that students need--without bogging them down in review material or overwhelming them with too much, too soon. The authors have purposely kept this book, unlike many available Precalculus books, at a length that can be covered in one term. Written by David Cohen and co-authors Theodore B. 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.

Rockswold is also known for presenting the concept of a function as a unifying theme, with an emphasis on the rule of four verbal, graphical, numerical, and symbolic representations. A flexible approach allows instructors to strike their own balance of skills, rule of four, applications, modeling, and technology. 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.
The graphing approach is supported by realistic applications, including many using real data and numerous new ones.
Thomas W. Hungerford and new coauthor Douglas J. Shaw also include a greater emphasis than many texts on the why? Important Notice: Media content referenced within the product description or the product text may not be available in the ebook version.
Many of the problems involving data require the students to first determine the appropriate model linear, quadratic, and so on then fit it to the data and justify their choice. Where appropriate, more problems to challenge the better student have been added. In addition, Mixed Practice exercises have been added where appropriate so that students may synthesize skills from a variety of sections.
