Textbook

Precalculus is an introductory text. The material is presented at a level intended to prepare students for calculus while also giving them relevant mathematical skills that can be used in other classes.


The authors describe their approach as "Functions First," believing introducing functions first will help students understand new concepts more completely. Each section includes homework exercises, and the answers to most computational questions are included in the text (discussion questions are open-ended). Graphing calculators are used sparingly and only as a tool to enhance the mathematics, not to replace it.

Once upon a time, there was an industry that employed ten-percent of workers worldwide. It spanned borders and cultures, economics, and demographics. It endured man-made catastrophes, natural disasters, economic crises, and technological evolution. It is resilient. It is flexible. It will not rest. Of course, I am referring to the hospitality industry.

Recently, the hospitality industry has faced exceptional adversity in navigating the COVID-19 pandemic. Yet, it has persevered and evolved to continue to provide customers with, although altered, high-quality customer service. Although some players have closed their doors forever, others have adapted to see record growth. The future for hospitality organizations will continue to shift and morph from the world we once knew but it goes without saying that this industry will survive and continue to thrive whatever comes its way.

Join us as we explore the history and future of this diverse and dynamic industry. Each section will show you career paths and real-world success stories in a different segment of the industry. My hope is that your eyes are opened to new opportunities and your passion is ignited to explore how your journey may unfold as a customer, an employee, and, potentially, a leader in the great big world of hospitality.

This textbook aims to help create an engaging and inclusive learning environment and foster a life-long passion for the evolving discipline of psychology. It sets a high standard for academic excellence, scientific rigour, and inclusivity, making it essential for modern psychology instruction. It integrates discussions on the psychological impacts of colonization, offering a richer, more comprehensive view of psychology. Expert contributions from specialists bring deep understanding and practical relevance, while plain language descriptions make complex concepts accessible. Diverse voices—including those of women, BIPOC, queer, and disabled scholars—fill critical gaps left by traditional texts. Deep Dives and case studies provide in-depth exploration and real-world application, promoting critical thinking and peer-to-peer learning.

The Helicopter Flying Handbook is designed as a technical manual for applicants who are preparing for their private,
commercial, or flight instructor pilot certificates with a helicopter class rating. Certificated flight instructors may find
this handbook a valuable training aid, since detailed coverage of aerodynamics, flight controls, systems, performance,
flight maneuvers, emergencies, and aeronautical decision-making is included. Topics such as weather, navigation, radio
navigation and communications, use of flight information publications, and regulations are available in other Federal
Aviation Administration (FAA) publications.

The Airplane Flying Handbook provides basic knowledge that is essential for pilots. This handbook introduces basic pilot
skills and knowledge that are essential for piloting airplanes. It provides information on transition to other airplanes and the
operation of various airplane systems. It is developed by the Flight Standards Service, Airman Testing Standards Branch,
in cooperation with various aviation educators and industry. This handbook is developed to assist student pilots learning
to fly airplanes. It is also beneficial to pilots who wish to improve their flying proficiency and aeronautical knowledge,
those pilots preparing for additional certificates or ratings, and flight instructors engaged in the instruction of both student
and certificated pilots. It introduces the future pilot to the realm of flight and provides information and guidance in the
performance of procedures and maneuvers required for pilot certification.

This handbook provides the basic knowledge that is essential for pilots. It introduces pilots to the broad spectrum of
knowledge that will be needed as they progress in their pilot training. Except for the Code of Federal Regulations
pertinent to civil aviation, most of the knowledge areas applicable to pilot certification are presented. This handbook is useful to beginning pilots, as well as those pursuing more advanced pilot certificates
