This review is from: Fundamentals of Precalculus (Hardcover)

Well, there isn't much I could say about this textbook, but it did do its job. The textbook had examples and explanations for every section, followed by exercises for practice.

I will say though, it was nice that the book is relatively thin compared to other calculus textbooks I saw my friends lugging around. The textbook was precise and to the point.
