Precalc note taking Guide
921304
This guide can be helpful when using the PreCalc book that it corresponds to. I would like to see more examples or more extra space for a few of the sections.

Best math help book I have come across.  I had been keeping a note book of all my formulas and this has everything you need in it without fluff or stories.

I think I made the best decision buying this calculator. The "WriteView" is a great property. I haven't felt this much of comfort writing formulae into a calculator before.
Definitely recommended.

Great for helping students understand numeration, addition, subtraction, place value, skip counting by 5s and 10s, subitizing...

I've enjoyed this book and found it very useful. It's a straightforward guide to using OneNote and other Office applications for common schoolwork needs like taking notes, meeting deadlines and writing papers.

Easy to read notes.  I love this book.  I'm a novice and this book is great.

This is how I passed my NCLEX-PN. It has it broken down into categories and the bare information is written out to quick study from it instead of long paragraphs. It's essentially all your notes already done. Absolutely recommend it.

This is just what I expected.  The pages are perforated, making it fairly easy to tear out pages.  I plan to use this and the language arts one on a weekly basis for those that finish work quickly.  It is organized week-by-week with five short daily activities.  I'm not sure some of my lowers math students will be able to do some pages without guidance.  Although the book is aligned with the commonn core, my county has specific weeks in which things are taught and those don't seem to line up.

CliffsNotes Math Review for Standardized Tests (CliffsTestPrep)  Good for supplement.  Great to learn and relearn math skills and calculations for exam prep.

I wish I had gotten a hardback copy of this book. I love writing notes in the margin as I study. GREAT BOOK.

For those of us who have to use computer to keep track of grades but still want to record on paper, this book is excellent. I had ordered another one and returned it because the print was so small and the blocks were tiny. This book has abundant room to record names and grades. It also contains pages of other valuable information to save.  I recommend it highly.

This book has worked well with a small group of 8 CC children.  If you need to do pre and post tests for acountability, there is a GREAT face scale that can easily be colored for pre-writers.  Activities are well laid out and most are kept to a page, so you don't have to flip back and forth.  I am very glad to found this book, I can tell already that it is going to get a lot of use.  The pre post test alone is worth the cost of the book!

This calculator is awesome.  Just what I needed for my Finance class.  Comes with a small sleeve suede case to protect from scratches.  It places commas on large numbers for easy reading.

I would recommend this for anyone who has already had a basic background with Latin. It is  It has great notes on the left page and all the vocab is in the back.

I'm a struggling calc student. Having lots of examples to practice with is very helpful in preparing for test. I like how i can look up in the index by the section we are working on in class and find relevant examples. I also like the fact that it comes with online practice supplement product key too. I haven't used the online supplement yet.

If you're like me and still need video instruction to help you. I recommend Brightstorm.com and thinkwell.com. Thinkwell is the better of the two for video instruction because it's complete. There is nothing missing that I am studying in my college calc class that is not shown on Thinkwell. The big three thermos are missing in Brightstorm's calc lessons. Thinkwell is more expensive up front.

I reported them to Amazon months ago - nothing's changed.
There are two different books on amazon.com:

BOOK 1:  "Precalculus 5/e" by Larson & Hostetler (search for 0618052852 on amazon.com). It has a very good supplement - "Study and Solutions Guide" by Dianna Zook (0618072713).
Both books were published by Houghton Mifflin Company, which has nice resource site [...]
I have no affiliation with this publisher. From the pull-down "Precalculus" window Select Title "Precalculus 5/e Larson/Hostetler ((c)2001)".  You'll be very pleased with the links you find there. If you seriously want to ace Precalculus - get both - "Precalculus" and "Study...".

BOOK 2: "Precalculus Functions and Graphs: A Graphing Approach/Precalculus With Limits: A Graphing Approach (Student Study Guide)" by Larson (0618074104).

Here's one bug:
Somehow reviews posted for BOOK 1 got mirrored onto BOOK 2 or vice versa (compare books' reviews).
Another bug:
Book 2 in reality has a title  "Study and Solution Guide" and its authors are Bruce Edwards and Dianna Zook (not Larson). Compare it with "Study and Solutions Guide for Precalculus Functions and Graphs : A Graphing Approach and: Precalculus With Limits : A Graphing Approach" (0669417297), which is older: 2/e, (c)1997.

Book 2 gives solutions to odd-numbered excersizes and to all Chapter Practice Tests and to Chapter and Cumulative Tests in both "Precalculus Functions and Graphs...3/e" (0618052909) and "Precalculus with Limits...3/e" (0618052917).

Those two books were published in 2001 by Houghton Mifflin Company. On [...] from the pull-down "Precalculus" window select either of their titles.  Click on "Purchase this Product or Study Aides" and you'll see the whole learning package which includes aforementioned "Study and Solution Guide" ISBN: (0-618-07410-4) (for some reason Bruce Edwards is dropped and only Dianna Zook is listed as author; apparently, amazon.com doesn't hold monopoly on making mistakes).

Make sure you are reading reviews relevant to the book you consider buying.

You can't know how invaluable this little thing is until you have to take the dreaded Calculus.

I'm in high school and currently taking Pre-Calculus and in a month I'm starting AP Calculus. While in high school, I was enrolled in an early college program. I've managed to ace my College Statistics, Geometry, Algebra without the help of any Texas Instrument calculators. Got by with a simple scientific calculator.

But Pre-Calc is a different matter. We were required to use TI 84 Plus Silver Edition. And I'm glad I learned how to use it before heading off to college. I just know that this handy device is going to save me tears when it's time for College Calculus.

STARTING:
I'm still learning how to use the device. It can get a little overwhelming at first because of the many buttons and the many functions.  Yes, it is intimidating and yes, it is a little complicated.

But be patient, read the manual or get the book TI 84 for Dummies.

THE PRICE:
I do agree that it is very pricey, especially for student budget. It can really hurt your meager student savings, like it did mine. But this is a good investment, especially if you are planning to major in something involving a lot of math.

THE LOOK:
Not bad. It's silver so it looks a bit more elegant than the previous black TI Calculators. There's also other colors to choose from like pink, blue, purple and orange. No matter how much tempted I am to buy the girly pink TI84, I settled for a neutral silver because I might decide to bequeath it to someone else if I purchase a new one later on.

It is a little bulky and heavy for me. But one thing I can say for it is that it is tough. Mine hit the concrete floor about 3 times already. It sustained a little scratch but that is it.
