Perfect for the one-term course, Precalculus
with Calculus Previews, Fourth Edition
provides a complete, yet manageable,
introduction to precalculus concepts while
focusing on important topics that will be of
direct and immediate use in most calculus
courses. The exercise sets throughout the
text include engaging problems that focus on
algebra, graphing, and function theory, the
sub-text of so many calculus problems. The
authors are careful to use the terminology of
calculus in an informal and comprehensible
way to facilitate the student’s successful
transition into future calculus courses.
Precalculus
A Functional Approach to
Graphing and Problem Solving
Sixth Edition
Karl J. Smith
Precalculus: A Functional Approach to
Graphing and Problem Solving prepares
students for the concepts and applications
they will encounter in future calculus courses.
In far too many texts, process is stressed over
insight and understanding, and students
move on to calculus ill equipped to think
conceptually about its essential ideas. This
text provides sound development of the
important mathematical underpinnings of
calculus, stimulating problems and exercises,
and a well-developed, engaging pedagogy.
Students will leave with a clear understanding
of what lies ahead in their future calculus
courses. Instructors will find that Smith’s
straightforward, student-friendly presentation
provides exactly what they have been looking
for in a text!

Linear Algebra
Theory and Applications
Ward Cheney, University of Texas,
Austin
David R. Kincaid, University of Texas,
Austin
Motivated by their desire for a single text that
meets the various requirements found in linear
algebra courses, renowned writing team Ward
Cheney and David Kincaid have developed this
multi-faceted introduction to linear algebra.
Focusing on a comprehensive blend between
theory and application, this text guides
theoretically-oriented mathematics students as
they devise proofs and deal with abstractions.
Likewise, this unique blend appeals to
applications-oriented science and engineering
students with its numerous problem sets that
focus on understanding and learning vector
spaces, matrices, linear transformations, and
other tools of applied linear algebra. With its flexible design, Linear Algebra: Theory and Applications
is an ideal text for instructors who wish to make their own choice of what material to emphasize, and
includes over 3100 problems and homework assignments of great variety to highlight that choice
Probability
An Introduction
David Santos, Community College
of Philadelphia
Probability: An Introduction provides
the fundamentals of probability, requiring
minimal algebraic and precalculus
skills from the reader. It begins with an
introduction to sets and set operations,
spends time explaining counting
techniques, and then presents probability
in an axiomatic way, never losing sight
of elucidating the subject through very
concrete examples. The book contains
numerous examples and solved exercises
taken from various fields. A CD-ROM with
computer code, project files, and third-party
applications accompanies the text.

This text uses computer programs in almost
every chapter to demonstrate the mathematical
concepts under discussion. Designed for
engineering students as well as practicing
engineers and scientists, the book has hundreds
of examples with in-text solutions. It covers
the entire sequence of mathematical topics
needed by the majority of university programs,
including ODE, PDE, complex variables,
probability/statistics, and numerical methods.
The authors demonstrate how the mathematical
concepts will be used in practical applications,
such as Fractals, Robotics, Circuits, Membrane
simulation, Collision Detection, Ray Tracing,
Signal Processing, and more.
