Question

Hey, can anyone tell me where to find a good book on precalulus? I see there's a group devoted to it: http://openstudy.com/study#/groups/precalulus

Answer 1

Precalculus: An Investigation of Functions is a free, open textbook covering a two-quarter pre-calculus sequence including trigonometry. The first portion of the book is an investigation of functions, exploring the graphical behavior of, interpretation of, and solutions to problems involving linear, polynomial, rational, exponential, and logarithmic functions. An emphasis is placed on modeling and interpretation, as well as the important characteristics needed in calculus.

Answer 2

No, that's precalculus. I know all about that. I want a book on precalulus, like the group name says :-)

Answer 3

But thanks for the pointer!

Answer 4

I think I'll be pointing some OS users at this!

Answer 5

There's an openstudy group/subject named "precalulus" — I provided the link. Embarrassing typo, don't you think?

Answer 6

At least we don't also have a group called jeometry!

Answer 7

A couple others for you to look at:
http://www.math.washington.edu/~m120/
http://stitz-zeager.com/

And a bunch of peer reviewed math books, though not a precal one:

But they do have proofs and probability, if you want to see how hard and likely it would be for you to be able to develop jeometry.

@TuringTest pointed out this spelling mistake in his post 8 months ago.

Answer 9

its math group, spelling doesnt count ;)

Answer 10

Part of the Turing Test is to be indistinguishable from a human. So a certain number of errors are to be expected. Otherwise it would fail the Turing Test.

This makes it odd that @TuringTest would point out this type of mistake.

=P

Answer 11

The irony there is kinda nice :)

Answer 12

Yep!

Answer 13
