Precalculus: A Problem Solving Approach - Student Workbook
by Marilyn Carlson Michael Oehrtman Kevin Moore Alan O'BryanThe materials in this workbook are designed with student learning and success in mind and are based on decades of research on student learning. In addition to becoming more confident in mathematical abilities, the reasoning patterns, problem solving abilities and content knowledge that the student acquire will make more advanced courses in mathematics, the sciences, engineering, nursing, and business more accessible. The investigations and text will help see a purpose for learning and understanding the ideas of precalculus, while also helping the student acquire critical knowledge and ways of thinking that the student will need for learning calculus.
Precalculus (Second Edition)
by Robert BlitzerDesigned to help students transition from intermediate algebra to calculus in the process helping students enhance their problem solving skills and become critical thinkers as they tackle real world problems

Precalulus: Graphing And Data Analysis
by Michael SullivanThe goal of this book is to provide a solid mathematical foundation via visualization of real world data. Technology is used as a tool to solve problems, motivate concepts, explore and preview mathematical concepts and to find curves of best fit to the data. Most mathematical concepts are developed and illustrated both algebraically and graphically, with the more intuitive and appropriate method presented first. Also included in this book is a foreshadowing of calculus through the chapter on Limits and Derivatives.
Precast Segmental Box Girders: Experimental and Analytical Approaches (SpringerBriefs in Applied Sciences and Technology)
by Fadzli Mohamed Nazri Mohd Azrulfitri Mohd Yusof Moustafa KassemThis book explores the fundamentals of the elastic behaviour of erected precast segmental box girders (SBG) when subjected to static load, as well as the construction process (casting and erection work) involved. It analyzes and compares the experimental results with those obtained using the finite element method and theoretical calculations. A short-term deflection analysis for different loads is obtained by determining the maximum deflection, stress and strain value of single span precast SBG under a variety of transversal slope. The outcome of this work provides a better understanding of the behaviour of precast SBG in terms of structural responses as well as defects, so that maintenance work can then be focused on the critical section at mid span area specifically for the bridge project longitudinally and transversely. The book is of interest to industry professionals involved in conducting static load tests on bridges, and all researchers, designers, and engineers seeking to validate experimental work with numerical and analytical approaches.
