Class topics in other textbooks

 

If you find that you want more explanation than is provided in the Schaum’s Precalculus, Second Edition, by Fred Safier, these are the corresponding sections of Sheldon Axler, Precalculus and of David Cohen, Precalculus, Sixth Edition. These textbooks have been used at CSUDH previously. Copies of all three books are on reserve at the library. *Extra Credit Sections
