Pre–Calculus Workbook For Dummies

I ended up returning this only because I didn’t have the time to use it before my class started. But I flipped through it a few times and it had a lot of good information including a refresher on things you needed to know before taking precal.

Explains with many examples different types of problems. Good for students home school students and give better sample and in-depth understanding than the so called official books school books. I will say through that I did have to complement this with some YouTube instructional videos when my son got stuck

I read this book and took notes a month before the course started.The book helps give me an outline of what to expect at university. I was making a 98 but make an 87 on my final, dropping the total grade to a 94.If I was able to do it over again, I would encourage more trig practice. Most people do not have exposure to trig and pre calculus was the first time I was introduced to trigonometry. This book really helped me a lot. I doubt I would have gotten an A or even passed if I didn't decide to buy this on impulse. Make sure you use the workbook part to help solidify your understanding.

The content is mostly the same as the previous edition, even though this edition is attributed to a different author. There’s about 40 new pages, which is good, but sadly all the cartoons have been eliminated. I would have given this five stars except for the typos they added to the first paragraph on page 54 and the third paragraph on page 81. New editions should remove typos, not add them.

The format is conducive to understanding the information. Humor is used and helps to relax and learn.
