Precalculus With Calculus Previews, 6/e (Hardcover)

Building off the success of Dennis G. Zill and Jacqueline M. Dewar's popular Essentials version, the new Sixth Edition of Precalculus with Calculus Previews continues to include all of the outstanding features and learning tools found in the original text while incorporating additional topics of coverage that some courses may require. With a continued effort to keep the text complete, yet concise, the authors have expanded the number of chapters making the text a clear choice for many mainstream courses. Additional material includes rotation of conics in the rectangular coordinate system, sequences and series, mathematical induction, the Binomial Theorem, systems of equations, partial fractions, systems of inequalities, a brief introduction to counting and probability, and a full discussion of complex numbers. This student-friendly, full-color text offers numerous exercise sets and examples to aid in students' learning and understanding, and graphs and figures throughout serve to better illuminate key concepts. The exercise sets include engaging problems that focus on algebra, graphing, and function theory, the subtext of so many calculus problems. The authors are careful to use the terminology of calculus in an informal and comprehensible way to facilitate the student's successful transition into future calculus courses. New to the Sixth Edition: - Increased number of student aids throughout the text including, examples, figures, marginal annotations, in-example guideline annotations, and Notes from the Classroom sections - Many sections have been rewritten to increase clarity and improve student understanding - Increased number of Calculator/Computer Problems and For Discussion Problems throughout the text - An expanded Final Examination consists of fill-in-the-blank questions, true/false questions, and review exercises - And much more! Key Features: Translating Words into Functions section illustrates how to translate a verbal description into a symbolic representation of a function and demonstrates these translations with actual calculus problems. Chapter Review Exercises include problems that focus on algebra, graphing and function theory, the sub-text of so many calculus problems. Review questions include conceptual fill-in-the-blank and true-false questions, as well as numerous thought-provoking exercises. The Calculus Preview found at the end of each chapter offers students a glimpse of a single calculus concept along with the algebraic, logarithmic, and trigonometric manipulations that are necessary for the successful completion of typical problems related to that concept. Available with WebAssign.

在Dennis G. Zill和Jacqueline M. Dewar受歡迎的Essentials版本的成功基礎上，新的Precalculus with Calculus Previews第六版繼續包含原始文本中所有優秀的特點和學習工具，同時還包括一些課程可能需要的其他主題。作者們繼續努力使文本完整而簡潔，擴展了章節數量，使得這本教材成為許多主流課程的明確選擇。額外的材料包括在直角坐標系統中的圓錐曲線旋轉、數列和級數、數學歸納法、二項式定理、方程組、部分分式、不等式系統、簡要介紹計數和概率，以及對複數的全面討論。這本學生友好的全彩色教材提供了眾多的練習題和例題，以幫助學生學習和理解，並且遍布圖表和圖形有助於更好地闡明關鍵概念。練習題集包括引人入勝的問題，重點關注代數、圖形和函數理論，這是許多微積分問題的基礎。作者們小心地以一種非正式且易於理解的方式使用微積分術語，以促進學生順利過渡到未來的微積分課程。

第六版的新特點:
- 在整個文本中增加了更多的學生輔助工具，包括例題、圖片、邊緣註釋、例題指導註釋和課堂筆記部分
- 重新撰寫了許多章節，以提高清晰度和學生理解力
- 在整個文本中增加了更多的計算器/電腦問題和討論問題
- 擴展的期末考試包括填空題、判斷題和複習練習題
- 還有更多!

主要特點:
- "將詞語轉化為函數"部分演示了如何將口述描述轉化為函數的符號表示，並通過實際的微積分問題展示了這些轉化。
- 章節回顧練習包括重點關注代數、圖形和函數理論的問題，這是許多微積分問題的基礎。回顧問題包括概念性的填空和判斷題，以及許多引人思考的練習題。
- 每章末尾的微積分預覽為學生提供了一個微積分概念的一瞥，以及完成與該概念相關的典型問題所需的代數、對數和三角操作。
- 可與WebAssign一起使用。
