Product Description

Even precalc with trigonometry can be painless with this text that bridges the ``understanding gap'' between typical student and the usual lengthy textbook, and it's great for AP Calculus test takers, too!


From the Back Cover

Student tested and approved! If you suffer from math anxiety, then sign up for private tutoring with Bob Miller! Do logarithms, sines, and cosines leave you in a cold sweat? Vectors and derivatives send stress signals to your brain? If so, then you are like the many thousands of students--students of all ages, all levels--who are anxiously trying to master math. Particularly calculus. Luckily, there is a cure: Bob Miller's Calc for the Clueless series! Like the teacher you always wished you had (but never thought existed), Bob Miller brings a combination of knowledge, empathy and fun to this often troubling subject. He breaks down the learning process in an easy, nontechnical way and builds it up again using his own unique methods. ``Basically, the Clueless books are my notes. Exactly the way I teach: friendly, clear. . .with some humor and plenty of emotion!!'' Meant to bridge the gap between the student, the textbook, and the teacher, Calc for the Clueless is packed with all the information you need to conquer calc. New for this second edition of Precalc are: anxiety-reducing features on every page; quick-take methods that fit short study sessions (and short attention spans); two equations in two unknowns, three equations in three unknowns; additional explanation on conic sections; determinants and Kramer's rule; the binomial theorem; plus tips for the SAT. ``I am always delighted when a student tells me that he or she hated math. . .but taking a class with me has made math understandable. . .even enjoyable.'' Now it's your turn. Sharpen your #2 pencils and let Bob Miller show you how to never be clueless again!

3.0 out of 5 stars It's okay for those who have some clue on the subject, August 14, 2000
By Marie "koneko2203" (Santa Clara, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This book was okay. I mean if I didn't remember what my teacher taught me I would be lost. I mean this book is to help you understand what your teacher has already taught you. I only use it as a review to refresh my memory, but if you want to learn it good luck. It doesn't cover all the material that pre-calculus needs. Basically this book covers mostly stuff from Algebra 2 and some from pre-calculus/trig. The book can be confusing for some parts, and other parts he explains pretty well. But basically if you want to better your pre-calculus skills you'll have to buy a separate book to quiz you. This book only has examples.

1.0 out of 5 stars Hated It!, July 31, 2000
By S. Gilliam (Newark, NJ United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
With all of the hype presented on the cover of this book, I was looking forward to reading it. I was also hoping that this book would easily prepare me for precalc. This book was as confusing and difficult to conceptualize as some of the "teachers" who teach the subject. I wasted my money. I spent more time trying to figure out what was going on in the book that it made me forget was was going on at the begining of the chapter. Again "Hated It".
