Functions, modeling, and trigonometry

David Lippman’s open textbook organizes precalculus around two connected areas: an investigation of functions and an introduction to trigonometry. The functions section considers graphical behavior, interpretation, and problem solving across linear, polynomial, rational, exponential, and logarithmic functions. Trigonometry is presented through a combined circle-and-triangle approach, with identities introduced early and revisited across chapters. Solving is also developed over time, from an initial introduction to more extensive treatment later. Modeling and interpretation link the material, alongside characteristics relevant to calculus.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Students studying precalculus, including trigonometry
  • Learners who want practice interpreting and modeling functions
  • Those preparing to study calculus

Book overview

An open textbook covering pre-calculus including trigonometry. The first portion of the book is an investigation of functions, exploring the graphical behavior of, interpretation of, and solutions to problems involving linear, polynomial, rational, exponential, and logarithmic functions. The second portion of the book introduces trigonometry. Trig is introduced through an integrated circle/triangle approach. Identities are introduced in the first chapter, and revisited throughout. Likewise, solving is introduced in the second chapter and revisited more extensively in the third chapter. An emphasis is placed on modeling and interpretation, as well as the important characteristics needed in calculus.
