The Rule of Four: A Balanced Approach

Precalculus: Graphical, Numerical, Algebraic provides a balanced approach to problem solving and a consistent transition from Precalculus to Calculus. A principal feature of this text is the balance among the algebraic, numerical, graphical, and verbal methods of representing problems: the rule of 4. This approach reinforces the idea that to understand a problem fully, students need to understand it algebraically as well as graphically and numerically.

The 10^th Edition introduces graphing technology as an essential tool for mathematical discovery and effective problem solving. This edition also features a full chapter on Statistics to help students see that statistical analysis is an investigative process.
