Synopsis:

With the same design and feature sets as the market leading Precalculus, 9/e, this concise text provides both students and instructors with sound, consistently structured explanations of the mathematical concepts. PRECALCULUS: A CONCISE COURSE is designed to offer a cost-effective, one-semester alternative to the traditional two-semester precalculus text. It contains the features that have made the Larson series a complete solution for both students and instructors: interesting applications, pedagogically effective design, and innovative technology combined with an abundance of carefully developed examples with worked-out solutions and exercises.

Review: "Some students in my precalculus class are very weak in algebra. The 'Algebra Help' is definitely beneficial to students, as are the 'Warning/Cautions', which help those students avoid common mistakes that others make. [And] the 'Student Tips' really guide students in what they should recognize after an example is presented. Larson's text is among the best precalculus books I've found."

"I am very satisfied with the exercises as well as the review exercises, they are helpful and there is a range of easy, medium, and hard problems. There is a wealth of example problems and I can easily find examples that show where common algebraic mistakes occur. I especially like the true/false questions. The examples and exercises are by far the greatest strength of the textbook."
