Topics in Precalculus

Topics in Precalculus is a compilation of ideas and concepts designed to prepare you for the study of Calculus. In addition to re-enforcing content from algebra such as exponential and logarithmic functions, and complex numbers, this book introduces the reader to more novel concepts by investigating in detail two of the most basic shapes in geometry: the circle and the triangle. Join us as we explore this ancient subject that extends our knowledge of these shapes by explaining them in terms of trigonometry. In fact, our study of the six trigonometric functions will allow us to apply the relationships described in precalculus to other branches of science such as physics and astronomy. The connections revealed between both the new and familiar ideas described in Topics in Precalculus will assist you with your mathematics journey in a book that’s designed just for YOU!
