Dwyer and Gruenwald's PRECALCULUS builds on the same features as their very successful COLLEGE ALGEBRA, Second Edition and COLLEGE ALGEBRA AND TRIGONOMETRY, Second Edition , while adding material to help students look ahead to calculus. The book is organized around a traditional table of contents, and offers a contemporary flavor through the use of the rule of four, modeling, and a strong conceptual orientation. The authors motivate students by using outstanding contemporary applications that address important topical issues, as well as entertaining and illustrative ones. The applications are woven around a carefully paced presentation of algebra and trigonometry topics. A rich variety of exercises further engage and challenge students. In PRECALCULUS, the authors assume that students have access to a variety of graphing calculator models, so generic instruction is provided. Guidelines and keystrokes for specific calculators can be found in the free, text-specific online graphing calculator manual.

 "Great to use" 2009-09-29
By Casey Martinson (California City, CA)
This book is better than the Larson text I have (7th edition). Even though it's second edition and chopped off about five or so chapters near the end to make it less than a full Pre-Calculus book. I recommend it to anyone struggling with the algebra portion of their course. He explains the concepts clearly, takes you through the example problems step-by-step, and for those people interested in applications of a subject or those notes about math that make it interesting, it's all here. The imagery ain't too bad either.



I definitely didn't know if it was all hype over this one author about how good he was at writing math texts, but I ordered mine (you can get this book for less than a dollar! great deal) and am very pleased with the outcome. It's very engaging in that he keeps you interested in what you're doing. When in doubt I definitely referred back to this book because there would be a problem or two that wasn't in my Larson text that my teacher would pull out of her [...] and it'd be similar to an example problem in this text. Anyway, I usually study from it.



Buy it, it's cheap and is worth every cent for the quality of writing and learning you'll be receiving.

After working through the author's linear algebra done right book I came across this precalculus book. There is no better book. It has complete - and I mean complete - worked out solutions for all the odd problems. I know many students who have suffered through incredibly badly written books dealing with this subject and most, if not all, of them are. This book is a rigorous introduction to calculus - by this I mean that this book develops all ideas logically that a high school student can understand without an instructor - yes, without an instructor. All the usual topics of precalculus are covered in this book - only much better. Buy this for yourself, for your high schooler child and if you are a math teacher in a high school, at the very least, pilot this book!

 "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.

Three components contribute to a theme sustained throughout the Coburn Series: that of laying a firm foundation, building a solid framework, and providing strong connections. Not only does Coburn present a sound problem-solving process to teach students to recognize a problem, organize a procedure, and formulate a solution, the text encourages students to see beyond procedures in an effort to gain a greater understanding of the big ideas behind mathematical concepts.

Written in a readable, yet mathematically mature manner appropriate for college algebra level students, Coburn’s Precalculus uses narrative, extensive examples, and a range of exercises to connect seemingly disparate mathematical topics into a cohesive whole. Coburn’s hallmark applications are born out of the author’s extensive experiences in and outside the classroom, and appeal to the vast diversity of students and teaching methods in this course area.

Benefiting from the feedback of hundreds of instructors and students across the country, Precalculus second edition, continues to emphasize connections in order to improve the level of student engagement in mathematics and increase their chances of success in college algebra.

This book is written to a very understandable degree. If you are finding it difficult to understand then the problem is not the book its you. While some of the chapters may be better organized the book is not a total loss. After all you do only have to look in the appendix to find the topic you want to study about. All information is in this book including a 2 chapter review of basic algebra.

 "Grab Bag" 2005-11-24
By I. R. Paul (Berkeley, CA)
A grab bag of precalc topics. Makes a good refresher, but not a good intro.

 "Good chapters, poor layout" 2005-05-13
By reader
I see that other reviewers have beaten me to the punch. I, too, found the individual chapters very good and the overall organization confused. Like a previous reviewer, I think Cohen's Precalculus would best serve as a supplement to Michael Sullivan's more effectively organized book.

 "jumbled = confusing = easily forgotten lessons" 2005-02-21
By annoyed dad (Madison, WI)
My son was assigned this textbook last year in a junior college math class. He and his classmates found it frustrating. I had to spend hours tutoring him and several of his friends. As a result, I became intimately familiar with Cohen's Precalculus and the confusion it caused students.



My opinion of this book is much like that of the first and last reviewers. There is no discernible order to the chapters; the book doesn't progress in any logical way from what the students have just learned to what immediately follows. (For example: Why didn't the chapter on linear equations immediately follow the chapter on matrices? That's the whole point of matrices--we use them to solve linear equations!).



Sad to say, this book is just a big jumble of miscellaneous material lumped together under the rubric of precalculus. I don't know why the author and publisher chose to arrange the material this way. A previous reviewer suggests that the market forces textbook authors to include everything but the kitchen sink. Even if true, this explanation is irrelevant: it might explain why the book crams so much between its covers, but it doesn't explain the haphazard arrangement of the material. The book certainly didn't do my son or his classmates much good. Although they managed to memorize and regurgitate their lessons well enough to pass the final exam, the mathematical knowledge they gleaned wasn't retained very well because it was never put into any kind of logical order. This book provided no framework that made sense of the random lessons they received. In my opinion, that is not a good way to teach anything, especially an abstract subject like math.

 "Incoherent is the word, all right" 2005-02-08
By Pete Nedervetil (Los Angeles)
I'm an honors math major who had to use this text for a high-school AP math class a few years ago.



The first reviewer has hit the nail on the head. A reader could be forgiven for thinking Cohen suffered from ADHD. He's fine at explaining the small picture, but utterly hopeless at fitting all the little bits into any kind of coherent framework. This book is all over the place, bouncing here and there, seemingly at mere whim. It doesn't really matter WHY it's so disorganized--whether the result of some ed-school fad or a publisher's marketing strategy. In the end, it's still disorganized.



If your professor takes the trouble to rearrange the order of the chapters and provides plenty of supplemental material, this book might be marginally useful. But I certainly wouldn't recommend it as the primary text for a precalc course. Michael Sullivan's textbook is better organized, if not quite so lucid in its particulars.

I like the layout and I think it is presented well, but I do not like the fact that the answers are right next to the questions. I think it would have been better to have a separate answer section so that you aren't influenced by seeing the answer before you've even thought about it.



I've taught precalculus at the college level a number of time and I think this is a better product than most standard textbooks that students will never read (and most can't understand).

 "Excellent Review Book or supplemental book" 2008-11-23
By NovaGhost (Houston, TX)
As a math major and tutor I would say that this is a excellent review book or supplemental book. It has quite a few worked examples in it. Some of the explanations are a bit technical but they are correct. This is more of a reinforcement book not really intended to actually teach you pre-calculus because unless you are a math person teaching yourself math may prove quite difficult. It is always best to have a teacher or tutor explain the topics then practice and bring back questions to your teacher or tutor and if you are one of the less fortunate who get the occasional bad math teacher then you need to get a tutor and work with them to get the concept then work the problems. And the concept of what you are doing is always best explained by a person who already understands the material (of course there are always exceptions).
