Precalculus: Mathematics for Calculus, 7th edition will give students a solid foundation in the principles of mathematical thinking. Problem solving and mathematical modeling are reinforced throughout the text. The WebAssign enhancement to this textbook engages students with immediate feedback, rich tutorial content, and an interactive, customizable eBook.

  • Read It links under each question quickly jump to the corresponding section of a complete, interactive eBook that lets students highlight and take notes as they read.
  • Watch It links provide step-by-step instruction with short, engaging videos that are ideal for visual learners.
  • Lecture videos are available as a textbook resource.
  • Master It Tutorials (MI) show how to solve a similar problem in multiple steps by providing direction along with derivation so students understand the concepts and reasoning behind the problem solving.
  • Video Examples (VE) ask students to watch a section level video segment and then answer a question related to that video. Consider assigning the video example as review prior to class or as a lesson review prior to a quiz or test.
  • Select questions contain detailed solutions to the problem, available to students at your discretion.
  • Focus on Modeling (FoM) questions illustrate modeling techniques to teach students how to create their own mathematical models, rather than using prefabricated formulas.
  • Explore It (EI) modules help students visualize the course's complex topics through hands-on exploration and interactive simulation.
