"Schaum's Outlines" means your problem solved. For half a century, more than 40 million students have trusted "Schaum's" to help them study faster, learn better, and get top grades. Now "Schaum's" celebrates its 50th birthday with a brand-new look, a new format with hundreds of practice problems, and completely updated information to conform to the latest developments in every field of study. This book has been updated to reflect the latest course scope and sequence. Review problems have been added after key chapters as well as more supplementary practice problems. An informal level discussion of limits, continuity, and derivatives has also been added, as well as additional information on the algebra of the dot product, exponential form of complex numbers, and conic sections in polar coordinates - plus business applications such as average rate of change, price/demand and science applications, including projectiles. An enhanced ebook is now available with 30 videos of professors showing you exactly how to solve precalculus problems! Select the Kindle Edition with Audio/Video from the available formats.
