Product Description: Contains fully worked-out solutions to all of the odd-numbered exercises in the text, giving students a way to check their answers and ensure that they took the correct steps to arrive at an answer.

Product Description: This well-respected text gives an introduction to the theory and application of modern numerical approximation techniques for students taking a one- or two-semester course in numerical analysis. With an accessible treatment that only requires a calculus prerequisite, Burden and Faires explain how, why, and when approximation techniques can be expected to work, and why, in some situations, they fail...read more

Product Description: This is the ninth book of problems and solutions from the American Mathematics Competitions (AMC) contests. It chronicles 325 problems from the thirteen AMC 12 contests given in the years between 2001 and 2007. The authors were the joint directors of the AMC 12 and the AMC 10 competitions during that period...read more

Product Description: For more than 50 years, the Mathematical Association of America has been engaged in the construction and administration of challenging contests for students in American and Canadian high schools. The problems on these contests are constructed in the hope that all high school students interested in mathematics will have the opportunity to participate in the contests and will find the experience mathematically enriching...read more

Product Description: Authored by Faires and DeFranza. Besides providing complete solutions to all odd-numbered exercises in the text, this guide includes additional material for students who want a more intensive review of algebra and trigonometry. The Study Guide also includes two copies of an examination - one copy to be taken at the beginning of the course to test their readiness for PreCalculus and a second copy to be used at the end of the course so students can assess their improvement and readiness for calculus...read more

Product Description: A major aspect of mathematical training and its benefit to society is the ability to use logic to solve problems. The American Mathematics Competitions have been given for more than fifty years to millions of students. This book considers the basic ideas behind the solutions to the majority of these problems, and presents examples and exercises from past exams to illustrate the concepts...read more

Product Description: Get a better grade with PRECALCULUS! With a focus on teaching the essentials, this mathematics text provides you with the fundamentals necessary to be successful in this course and your future calculus course. Exercises and examples are presented the way that you will encounter them in calculus so that you are truly prepared for your next course...read more

Provide students with the tools to solve problems that are found on mathematical problem-solving exams.

Product Description: This well-respected text gives an introduction to the modern approximation techniques and explains how, why, and when the techniques can be expected to work. The authors focus on building students' intuition to help them understand why the techniques presented work in general, and why, in some situations, they fail...read more

Product Description: Precalculus presents the course as it was intended to be taught, providing students with an integrated review of algebra and trigonometry while focusing on essential calculus concepts. Faires and DeFranza wrote this book because they believe students too often leave a precalculus class unprepared to go on to calculus...read more

Product Description: Emphasizing applications rather than a mathematical emphasis this book provides an introduction to the approximation techniques used to solve problems that arise in science and engineering. Techniques are described from an implementation standpoint to convince students that methods are reasonable both mathematically and computationally...read more
