What would you recommend as the best pre-calculus books?

Answer 1

Stewart's Algebra and Trig book is pretty good (I taught from it). Good books to supplement would be the Schaums outline series.

Answer 2

Well, the best calculus book I've ever used has been Larson, Hostetler & Edwards, Calculus of a Single Variable. It was easy to follow, had lots of examples and wasn't written in greek. I'd say, look for the same authors in a pre-calc book.

Answer 3

I don't recommend the class, actually. Go right to calculus 1, then do calculus 2 your senior year. Take AP exams both years and save much much $$$ on college courses.

Answer 4

Pre-Calculus Made Easy. It is a softbound text written like military training manuals, no bull, just the things you need to learn.
Pre-calc is a combined college algebra and trigonometry course. For your future benefit, amost all of trigonometry is contained in the mneumonics SOH, CAH, TOA.

Answer 5

An SAT II math point II e book could be advantageous for precalc you are able to attempt barrons yet those issues are greater good than what you will maximum in all likelihood are available in the time of. If no longer attempt princeton. 5 steps to a 5 for AP Physics is likewise a large e book. exceptionally counseled.
