Written in a conversational tone, it incorporates reading questions throughout the text to guide the students in their reading. Linear, exponential, logarithmic, periodic, and power functions are introduced early in the text allowing the rest of the text to be organized around mathematical concepts rather than types of functions. A Graphing Approach by Thomas W. Hungerford Hungerford approaches the subject of precalculus by integrating graphing technology into the course without losing sight of the fact that the underlying mathematics is the crucial issue. Mathematics is presented in an informal manner that stresses meaningful motivation, careful explanations, and numerous examples, with an ongoing focus on real-world problem solving. This introductory differential equations book is one of the first to integrate technology throughout the text.
Students learn how and when to use technology tools by examples, in exercises, and in applications.
