It is a comprehensive text that covers more ground than a typical one- or two-semester college-level precalculus course. The content is organized by clearly-defined learning objectives, and includes worked examples that demonstrate problem-solving approaches in an accessible way.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCoverage and Scope\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrecalculus contains twelve chapters, roughly divided into three groups.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapters 1-4 discuss various types of functions, providing a foundation for the remainder of the course.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 1: Functions\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 2: Linear Functions\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 3: Polynomial and Rational Functions\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 4: Exponential and Logarithmic Functions\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapters 5-8 focus on Trigonometry.
