Engineers looking for an accessible approach to calculus will appreciate Young’s introduction. The book offers a clear writing style that helps reduce any math anxiety they may have while developing their problem-solving skills. It incorporates Parallel Words and Math boxes that provide detailed annotations which follow a multi-modal approach. Your Turn exercises reinforce concepts by allowing them to see the connection between the exercises and examples. A five-step problem solving method is also used to help engineers gain a stronger understanding of word problems.
The Workshop Precalculus text is part of the successful Workshop Mathematics Project, based at Dickinson College, Pennsylvania. It combines interactive teaching and collaborative learning such that students become active participants in the learning process. In this new text, this proven pedagogy is used to cover topics in precalculus: linear and quadratic functions, and trig functions, for example.
This easy-to-use workbook is full of stimulating activities that will give your students a solid introduction to precalculus! A variety of lessons, puzzles, mazes, and practice problems will challenge students to think creatively as they work to build their precalculus skills. Each lesson begins with a clear explanation of a featured precalculus topic, providing extra review and reinforcement. A special assessment section is included at the end of the book to help students prepare for standardized tests. 48 pages
