PRECALCULUS: AN INTERACTIVE APPROACH  (in progress).

This is an experiential, problems oriented precalculus text for students who are competent with intermediate algebra. No trigonometry is assumed; this subject is covered in Chapters 5 and 6. The aim of the text is to invite and encourage the student to be an active co-partner in learning, thinking, and doing mathematics. The activities, collaborations, problems, and explorations that permeate the text are intended to nurture and guide what the student does, learns, and perceives.
