Precalculus: Graphical, Numerical, Algebraic provides a balanced approach to problem solving and a consistent transition from Precalculus to Calculus. A principal feature of this text is the balance among the algebraic, numerical, graphical, and verbal methods of representing problems: the rule of 4. This approach reinforces the idea that to understand a problem fully, students need to understand it algebraically as well as graphically and numerically.

The 10^th Edition introduces graphing technology as an essential tool for mathematical discovery and effective problem solving. This edition also features a full chapter on Statistics to help students see that statistical analysis is an investigative process.

Dr. Foley co-authored Precalculus: A Graphing Approach; Precalculus: Functions and Graphs; and Advanced Quantitative Reasoning: Mathematics for the World Around Us.

Daniel Kennedy

Dan Kennedy received his undergraduate degree from the College of the Holy Cross and his master's degree and Ph.D. in mathematics from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Since 1973 he has taught mathematics at the Baylor School in Chattanooga, Tennessee, where he holds the Cartter Lupton Distinguished Professorship. Dr. Kennedy joined the Advanced Placement Calculus Test Development Committee in 1986, then in 1990 became the first high school teacher in 35years to chair that committee. It was during his tenure as chair that the program moved to require graphing calculators and laid the early groundwork for the 1998 reform of the Advanced Placement Calculus curriculum. The author of the1997 Teacher's Guide―AP Calculus, Dr. Kennedy has conducted more than 50workshops and institutes for high school calculus teachers. His articles on mathematics teaching have appeared in the Mathematics Teacher and the American Mathematical Monthly, and he is a frequent speaker on education reform at professional and civic meetings. Dr. Kennedy was named a Tandy Technology Scholar in 1992 and a Presidential Award winner in 1995.

Dr. Kennedy co-authored Calculus: Graphical, Numerical, Algebraic; Prentice Hall Algebra I; Prentice Hall Geometry; and Prentice Hall Algebra 2.

David E. Bock

Dave Bock holds degrees from the University at Albany (NY) in mathematics (B.A.) and statistics/education (M.S.). Mr. Bock taught mathematics at Ithaca High School for 35 years, including both BC Calculus and AP Statistics. He also taught Statistics at Tompkins-Cortland Community College, Ithaca College, and Cornell University, where he recently served as K–12 Education and Outreach Coordinator and Senior Lecturer for the Mathematics Department. Mr. Bock serves as a Statistics consultant to the College Board, leading numerous workshops, and institutes for AP Statistics teachers. He has been a reader for the AP Calculus exam and both a reader and a table leader for the AP Statistics exam. During his career Mr. Bock won numerous teaching awards, including the MAA's Edyth MaySliffe Award for Distinguished High School Mathematics Teaching (twice) and Cornell University's Outstanding Educator Award (three times), and was also a finalist for New York State Teacher of the Year.

Mr. Bock co-authored the AP Statistics textbook Stats: Modeling the World, then on-AP text Stats in Your World, Barron's AP Calculus review book, and Barron's AP Calculus Flash Cards.
