Star Wars: Lost Tribe of the Sith: Skyborn

A Jedi ambush leaves the Sith ship Omen marooned on a remote alien world, its survivors at the mercy of their desolate surroundings and facing almost certain death. But Sith will no more bow before the whims of fate than they will yield to the weapons of their enemies. And Omen's cunning commander Yaru Korsin will let nothing keep him and his crew from returning to the stars and rejoining the Sith order's conquest of the galaxy. Murdering his own brother has proven Korsin's ruthless resolve--but now an entire race stands in his way.

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.

They fit functions to data, returning to recurring themes such as outer space, sports, music, aviation, automobiles, and finance as their mathematical maturity develops.
