Three components contribute to a theme sustained throughout the
Coburn Series: that of laying a firm foundation, building a solid
framework, and providing strong connections. Not only does Coburn
present a sound problem-solving process to teach students to
recognize a problem, organize a procedure, and formulate a
solution, the text encourages students to see beyond procedures in
an effort to gain a greater understanding of the big ideas behind
mathematical concepts.
Written in a readable, yet mathematically mature manner
appropriate for college algebra level students, Coburn's
Precalculus uses narrative, extensive examples, and a range of
exercises to connect seemingly disparate mathematical topics into a
cohesive whole. Coburn's hallmark applications are born out of the
author's extensive experiences in and outside the classroom, and
appeal to the vast diversity of students and teaching methods in
this course area.
Benefiting from the feedback of hundreds of instructors and
students across the country, Precalculus second edition, continues
to emphasize connections in order to improve the level of student
engagement in mathematics and increase their chances of success in
college algebra.
