With the same design and feature sets as the market leading Precalculus, 8/e, this addition to the Larson Precalculus series provides users with sound, consistently structured explanations of the mathematical concepts. This book contains the features that have made Precalculus a complete solution for users: interesting applications, cutting-edge design, and innovative technology combined with an abundance of carefully written exercises. In addition to a brief algebra review and the core precalculus topics, PRECALCULUS WITH LIMITS covers analytic geometry in three dimensions and introduces concepts covered in calculus.
