Functions and graphs : calculus preparatory mathematics by Malcom W. Pownall

By: Pownall, MalcomMaterial type: TextTextLanguage: English Publication details: London : Prentice-Hall, Inc. , 1983Description: xv , 479 p . : ill. ; 24 cmISBN: 01333Subject(s): CalculusDDC classification: SHS 515 P87f 1983 Summary: "It seems to me that good preparation for calculus demands attentions on two fronts developing specific mathematical skills and knowledge that may students do not acquire in secondary school; and gaining some insight and familiarity with the kinds of questions that arise in calculus. I have tried to address both these needs. Topics from algebra, trigonometry and coordinate geometry form the syllabus of the text, which is centered about the unifying concepts of function. I have been selective in the choice of topic because most student are anxious to get on with calculus. I believe the material contained in this book provides very solid background for that purpose and have attempted to address both these needs."
