Description

Precalculus was developed to create a program that seamlessly align with how teachers teach and fully supports student learning. Cynthia Young’s goal was to create an intuitive, supportive product for students without sacrificing the rigor needed for true conceptual understanding and preparation for Calculus. Precalculus helps bridge the gap between in-class work and homework by mirroring the instructor voice outside the classroom through pedagogical features.

About the Author

Cynthia Y. Young received her BA in Math Education from UNC in 1990, has two masters, one in Mathematical Sciences from UCF in 1993 and a second in Electrical Engineering from the University of Washington in 1997. Finally, she received a PhD in Applied Mathematics from the University of Washington in 1996. She is already a tenured professor at UCF and is very actively involved in the supervision of UCF's graduate and undergraduate research assistants. Before becoming an award-winning Associate Professor at UCF, Cynthia taught High School. Cynthia received numerous grants and was named the principal investigator on six military and academic research projects. She has been an administrator/advisor to the Florida Space Institute at the Kennedy Space Center since 1998. Cynthia is a veteran presenter at conferences and conventions and has published over a dozen journal articles. In addition, she has been a contributor to several texts, including a College Algebra workbook for McGraw-Hill. Lastly, she edited the Marcel Decker's Optical Engineering Encyclopedia.

New to Edition

New Interactive Animations: Based on Cynthia Young’s lectures the interactive animations were created to help students build a solid conceptual understanding of specific learning objectives by delivering learning content integrated with ed interactive questions to guide and solidify students’ foundational knowledge of the topic.
New Math Maple questions: These question types are HTML5 based and fully mobile to enable functionality demanded by the modern student.
ORION Algebra Refresher Module: Every student comes to class with a different set of mastered prerequisite skills. The Algebra Refresher Module helps students and instructors identify prerequisite knowledge gaps and provides adaptive remediation to prepare all students for success.

Features

Clear, Concise, and Inviting Writing: This program provides material in a student centric, clear manner, presented in a layout designed to reduce math anxiety.
Author Lecture Videos: Video lectures provides an opening overview for each chapter and section level worked example videos for the topics students find the most challenging.
Parallel Words and Math: This course reverses the common presentation of examples by placing the explanation in words on the left and the mathematics problem on the right. This makes it easier for students to read through examples as the material flows more naturally and appears as information is commonly presented in lectures.
Catch the Mistake exercises: “Catch the Mistake” exercises included in each course section put students in the role of the instructor grading homework, which increases the students’ depth of understanding and reinforces what they have learned.
Your Turn problems: Students are frequently asked to work a problem immediately following an example to reinforce and check their understanding. This feature helps students build confidence as they progress in the course. These problems are ideal in-class activities that prepare students for their homework assignments.
Correct vs. Incorrect examples: In addition to standard examples, some problems are worked both correctly and incorrectly to highlight common errors students make. Counter examples like these are an effective learning approach for many students.
Modeling Our World projects: Found online for every course section, these projects engage students by using real world data to model mathematical applications found in everyday life.
Cumulative Section Tests: Cumulative tests are included at the end of each course section to assess and improve students' retention of material.
