Emphasizing computational skills and problem-solving, this textbook offers a user-friendly approach to college algebra and trigonometry. It introduces a right angle approach to trigonometry, suitable for one or two-semester courses. The text features Explore-Discuss boxes to foster critical thinking, alongside worked examples and matched problems for reinforcement. An abundance of exercises illustrates the practical applications of math. Additionally, a Smart CD is included, providing extra practice and reinforcing key concepts for students.

The Barnett Graphs & Models series in college algebra and precalculus maximizes student comprehension by emphasizing computational skills, real-world data analysis and modeling, and problem solving rather than mathematical theory. Many examples feature side-by-side algebraic and graphical solutions, and each is followed by a matched problem for the student to work. This active involvement in the learning process helps students develop a more thorough understanding of concepts and processes. A hallmark of the Barnett series, the function concept serves as a unifying theme. A major objective of this book is to develop a library of elementary functions, including their important properties and uses. Employing this library as a basic working tool, students will be able to proceed through this course with greater confidence and understanding as they first learn to recognize the graph of a function and then learn to analyze the graph and use it to solve the problem. Applications

Encouraging students to explore mathematical concepts through various methods, this book emphasizes the creation of a library of elementary functions along with their key properties and applications. It incorporates real-world problems sourced from professional journals and books, fostering a practical understanding of mathematics. The approach integrates graphical, numerical, and algebraic investigations, making it a comprehensive resource for students aiming to deepen their mathematical knowledge and skills.

Mathematical reform is central to this precalculus text, emphasizing the investigation of concepts through graphical, numerical, and algebraic methods. It aims to develop a comprehensive library of elementary functions, focusing on their properties and applications. The approach encourages students to engage deeply with mathematical ideas, fostering a more holistic understanding of the subject.
