Pre-Calculus All-in-One For Dummies is a great resource if you want to do you best in Pre-Calculus. Packed with lessons, examples, and practice problems in the book, plus extra chapter quizzes online, it gives you absolutely everything you need to succeed in pre-calc. Unlike your textbook, this book presents the essential topics clearly and concisely, so you can really understand the stuff you learn in class, score high on your tests (including the AP Pre-Calculus exam!), and get ready to confidently move ahead to upper-level math courses. And if you need a refresher before launching into calculus, look no further--this book has your back.
* Review what you learned in algebra and geometry, then dig into pre-calculus
* Master logarithms, exponentials, conic sections, linear equations, and beyond
* Get easy-to-understand explanations that match the methods your teacher uses
* Learn clever shortcuts, test-taking tips, and other hacks to make your life easier
Pre-Calculus All-in-One For Dummies is the must-have resource for students who need to review for exams or just want a little (or a lot of!) extra help understanding what's happening in class.
