Part of the market-leading Graphing Approach Series by Larson, Hostetler, and Edwards, Precalculus Functions and Graphs: A Graphing Approach, 5/e, is an ideal student and instructor resource for courses that require the use of a graphing calculator. The quality and quantity of the exercises, combined with interesting applications and innovative resources, make teaching easier and help students succeed. Continuing the series' emphasis on student support, the Fifth Edition introduces Prerequisite Skills Review. For selected examples throughout the text, the Prerequisite Skills Review directs students to previous sections in the text to review concepts and skills needed to master the material at hand. In addition, prerequisite skills review exercises in Eduspace are referenced in every exercise set. The Larson team achieves accessibility through careful writing and design, including examples with detailed solutions that begin and end on the same page, which maximizes the readability of the text. Similarly, side-by-side solutions show algebraic, graphical, and numerical representations of the mathematics and support a variety of learning styles.

Never heard from the seller or received the book - is it possible to give a negative ratings?

This product came in the mail quickly and I was very pleased with the cost since it saved me a LOT on this textbook. The condition of the book is also nice like he said it would be.

 "Apparently I Can't Speak PhD Mathematics" 2008-06-12
By J. Avery (Michigan)
If your professor is planning on doing an accelerated summer course complete with the book's online functionality, drop the course. The whole book is example based with no explanation as to simple things such as "Why?" or "How?". It's all quite simply this does this, which leads to this, and you finally get that. It will probably work for the people that were calculus addicts in high school, but for an introductory college calculus course for people like me with no prior exposure except high level algebra, it seems that Larson goes with the stereotypical mathematician mindset. That is, he has a PhD in math and he wants you to know it by showing you a lot of arbitrary numbers and terminology without explanation to show how humbling math can be, how little an introductory college student can hope to gain, and to justify having the price tag above $100 and the special online code another $60 if you buy used. The website is just as useless because it's just an online version of the text complete with the exact same examples and practice problems. That is if you can get into the site since it's so buggy. It often times out and wipes your homework AND EXAMS IN PROGRESS which leads to it constantly being down for maintenance. Overall, unless you had pre-calc in high school, it shouldn't be a problem, but if you're just stepping into the subject get a different book or an excellent professor.
