Pre-calculus Demystified, Second Edition

What a terrific book, to use as a text-book, as a self-study resource, or as enrichment material for a teacher involved in teaching this course!The writing is clear, examples numerous and interesting, graphs plentiful and carefully done. The Kindle version is a $10 bargain, which I bought. The print copy is likely a bargain also. The links are active, so you can move from one section to another easily. The table of contents and the index pages take you where you want to go with a single click.I plan to use this to help me teach a course in pre-calculus math at the college level. The examples and tests will greatly help my preparation.I see that there are dozens of "Demystified" offerings, and with this example, I am likely to buy one on another topic as well.Congratulations to the author and her publisher.

Quite excellent. I had just obtained a 96 in my college Precalculus class before reading this book, and I still learned a great deal more than my university had covered.The topics are well explained with respect to College Algebra level knowledge. If your foundation is shaky you will find yourself having to do quite minimal additional study from free resources online to fully grasp the material. Once you DO grasp the explanations, on the other hand, this book is absolutely magnificent. It is thorough, well structured, and provides an appropriate amount of review problems for each topic covered. I thoroughly recommend you give this book a try, regardless of whether or not you intend on taking a Precalculus class at your university. You will breeze through to an easy A if you do, and otherwise you will find yourself in a good position to ace a placement test and skip over Precalculus.

Bought the electronic version for 12 years old to learn and practice MATH while on road trips using a Nexus 7. Very handy and effective.

My fear of the calculation is over, I am in engineering course where the calculation is crucial and this book not only allowed me to overcome the fear of calculation but also to increase my interest in it and feel more secure in this area. Thank you Rhonda Huettenmueller i just wish there was calculus I and II of the same author.

Demystified helped me further understand my required Sullivan 'Pre-Calc' book for my semester class. I had to self internet learn how to use the TI-84 calculator, but the book provided some tips as well. DeMyst' did not go in exact order as the required book, but it was worth the purchase.
