Incorporating Zill's student-friendly writing style and modern examples, Precalculus with Calculus Previews, Fifth Edition includes all of the outstanding features and learning tools found in the original text, Essentials of Precalculus with Calculus Previews, while incorporating additional coverage that some courses may require. With a continued aim to keep the text complete, yet concise, the authors added four additional chapters making the text a clear choice for many mainstream courses. This student-friendly, four-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 sub-text 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. - Includes a new chapter, - Provides a "no nonsense" approach to precalculus with an informal, intuitive, and straightforward writing style. - Incorporates the terminology used in calculus in an informal way to acclimate students to these new terms. - Includes over 1600 figures to help illuminate key concepts. - Notes from the Classroom sections address a variety of student/textbook/classroom/calculus issues such as alternative terminology, reinforcement of important concepts, tips on memorization, misinterpretations, common errors, solution procedures, calculators, and advice on the importance of neatness and organization. - Calculus Previews conclude each chapter and highlight a single calculus concept with a focus on the algebraic, logarithmic, and trigonometric manipulations necessary for successfully completing the problem. Translating Words into Functions illustrates how to translate a verbal description into a symbolic representation of a function.

Jacqueline Dewar - In her 30-year teaching career at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles, California, Jackie Dewar has taught a wide variety of courses ranging from intermediate algebra and precalculus to algebraic topology and been very active in curriculum development.' 'She has developed or co-developed a hands-on lab for future elementary teachers, a unique math/science core course entitled Mathematics:' Contributions by Women, a community-building course for freshman math majors that focuses on problem solving and mathematical communication, and a quantitative literacy course that engages students in campus or local community issues.'''''''''''' 'From 1995-2001 she worked with a team of faculty from ten institutions of higher education in the Los Angeles Collaborative for Teacher Excellence (http://www.lacteonline.org), a $5,500,000 NSF-funded initiative with the goal of improving K-12 teacher preparation programs in science and mathematics. She has served as department chair (1983-86, 2005-6) and was recently appointed the Director of Loyola Marymount University’s Center for Teaching Excellence.''''''''''' 'In 2003, she was selected as one of 26 scholars by the Carnegie Academy for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL). She has worked to expand the international SoTL movement in the mathematics community by co-organizing minicourses (2006, 2007) and a contributed paper session (2007) at the national meeting of the Mathematical Association of America.' In 2006, she received the Mathematical Association of America’s Deborah and Franklin Tepper Haimo Award for Distinguished College or University Teaching.' She has written book reviews for Teaching Children Mathematics, and published articles in The Arithmetic Teacher, College Mathematics Journal, Collegiate Microcomputer, Journal of Mathematics and Science:' Collaborative Explorations, Mathematics and Computer Education, and National Teaching and Learning Forum.'
