Take it step-by-step for pre-calculus success!

The quickest route to learning a subject is through a solid grounding in the basics. So what you won’t find in Easy Pre-calculus Step-by-Step is a lot of endless drills.

This book features:

• Large step-by-step charts breaking down each step within a process and showing clear connections between topics and annotations to clarify difficulties
• Stay-in-step panels show how to cope with variations to the core steps
• Step-it-up exercises link practice to the core steps already presented
