Synopsis:

This latest edition in the highly respected Swokowski/Cole precalculus series retains the elements that have made it so popular with instructors and students alike: its exposition is clear, the time-tested exercise sets feature a variety of applications, its uncluttered layout is appealing, and the difficulty level of problems is appropriate and consistent. Mathematically sound, PRECALCULUS: FUNCTIONS AND GRAPHS, Tenth Edition, effectively prepares students for further courses in mathematics through its excellent, time-tested problem sets. This edition has been improved in many respects including the addition of technology inserts with specific keystrokes for the TI-83 Plus and the TI-86, ideal for students who are working with a calculator for the first time. The design of the text makes the technology inserts easily identifiable, so if a professor prefers to skip these sections it is simple to do so.

Review: "There is about the right number of exercises, and there is a nice number of applications each time. The 'stories' attached to the application exercises are well developed and meaningful. I also like the use of illustrations to clarify the exercises. It is very helpful." "The exercises are well chosen and connect well with the text. They also go nicely from easier to harder at basically the right pace." "This text is carefully written. It does not oversimplify, but it is still accessible."
