Functions Modeling Change: A Preparation for Calculus

<p>The fifth edition of <b><i>Functions Modeling Change: A Preparation for Calculus, 5th Edition</i></b> helps instructors motivate concepts, and students develop critical thinking skills. Functions Modeling Change, 5th edition, is designed to accomplish the main goals of the Precalculus course: to build a solid mathematical foundation and prepare students for Calculus. The authors achieve this by focusing on a small number of key topics, thereby emphasizing depth of understanding rather than breadth of coverage. <i>Functions Modeling Change, 5th edition</i>, presents each function symbolically, numerically, graphically and verbally (the Rule of Four) . Additionally, a large number of real-world applications, examples, and problems enable students to create mathematical models that relate to the world around them.</p>
