When these authors found that conventional textbooks just weren't meshing well with the graphing technology they were using in their classes, they went to the drawing board. Precalculus: Concepts in Context takes a fresh look at the content of precalculus and offers students a different approach to learning mathematics. It begins with the real world of experience--music, commerce, psychology, natural science, daily news, etc.--and uncovers the mathematics already present. The study of each new topic begins by examining the concept in a context from which the topic naturally arises.

This laboratory manual serves as a valuable companion to any precalculus text. Each of the manual's laboratory projects is designed for group collaboration, and each project culminates in a written report submitted by the group. This manual can be used with either a graphing calculator or a computer graphing program. Guides for the TI-82, TI-83, TI-85, TI-86, and TI-92 graphing calculators are included. Topics are presented in the traditional order, beginning with linear and quadratic functions and ending with exponential, logarithmic, and trigonometric functions.

Cengage Learning'

Moran/Davis/Murphy's text implements a modern approach to teaching precalculus by heavily emphasizing contexts in which mathematics can be used to solve real-world problems, and through active involvement of the student in the learning process. Students are asked to answer questions and discover ideas throughout the body of the text, and to explore mathematical concepts in group lab projects. It employs a lively, fun writing style to communicate concepts to students in a way that can be easily understood. Graphing utilities are thoroughly integrated into the text, and their use is required. Users and reviewers have given this text high acclaim for its fresh applications, projects, and wonderful use of the discovery approach.
