Precalculus with Trigonometry: Concepts and Connections

Precalculus with Trigonometry prepares students for calculus by using methods emphasizing technology, cooperative learning, real-world applications, and student discovery to instill the concept that variables really vary. Students use the law of cosines to model the position of an orbiting satellite, rather than simply to analyze a fixed triangle. They fit functions to data, returning to recurring themes such as outer space, sports, music, aviation, automobiles, and finance as their mathematical maturity develops.
