CALCULUS I WITH PRECALCULUS, brings you up to speed algebraically within precalculus and transition into calculus. The Larson Calculus program has been widely praised by a generation of students and professors for its solid and effective pedagogy that addresses the needs of a broad range of teaching and learning styles and environments. Each title is just one component in a comprehensive calculus course program that carefully integrates and coordinates print, media, and technology products for successful teaching and learning. One primary objective guided the authors in writing this book: to...

Perhaps no state rivals Virginia when it comes to early history. Yet, there are many aspects of Virginia's early history that are either unknown or vaguely known by the general public. Over the last thirty years, Larson has written over thirty plays that deal with these aspects and the generally well-known men and women involved in them. These people include such names as Thomas Jefferson, John Marshall, Patrick Henry, Meriwether Lewis, John Randolph, John Robinson, Nathaniel Bacon, William Berkeley, John Chiswell, Martha Jefferson, Harry Lee, Nancy Randolph, Theodosia Burr and Edmund...

COLLEGE ALGEBRA AND CALCULUS: AN APPLIED APPROACH, Second Edition provides a comprehensive resource for college algebra and applied calculus courses. The mathematical concepts and applications are consistently presented in the same tone and pedagogy to promote confidence and a smooth transition from one course to the next. The consolidation of content for two courses in a single text saves instructors time in their course--and saves students the cost of an extra textbook.

Designed for the three-semester engineering calculus course, this book continues to offer instructors and students innovative teaching and learning resources. The Larson team always has two main objectives for text revisions: to develop precise, readable materials for students that clearly define and demonstrate concepts and rules of calculus; and to design comprehensive teaching resources for instructors that employ proven pedagogical techniques and save time.

Larson IS student success. ELEMENTARY AND INTERMEDIATE ALGEBRA: ALGEBRA WITHIN REACH owes its success to the hallmark features for which the Larson team is known: learning by example, a straightforward and accessible writing style, emphasis on visualization through the use of graphs to reinforce algebraic and numeric solutions and to interpret data, and comprehensive exercise sets. These pedagogical features are carefully coordinated to ensure that students are better able to make connections between mathematical concepts and understand the content. With a bright, appealing design, the new...

To become a successful mathematics teacher, you must first become a successful mathematics student. Ron Larson and Robyn Silbey's first edition of MATHEMATICAL PRACTICES, MATHEMATICS FOR TEACHERS: ACTIVITIES, MODELS, AND REAL-LIFE EXAMPLES helps students aspire to be the best educators they can be. Peruse the book and you'll find Classroom Activities integrated into each section; modeling Examples that ask students how to model math concepts in the classroom; real-life Examples that model math concepts students will encounter in their everyday lives; and finally, to frame Ron and Robyn's...

Contains fully worked-out solutions to all of the odd-numbered exercises in the text, giving students a way to check their answers and ensure that they took the correct steps to arrive at an answer.

From nursery rhymes, to advertising, to most forms of popular music, both children and adults like rhyme. Sadly, modern poetry has generally eschewed rhyme in favor of free-verse. Robert Frost once remarked that "free-verse is like playing tennis with the net down." I would add that today it's also playing tennis on an unmarked court. In the academic world, the "prose poem" is in, and the traditional rhymed poem is out. My book runs counter to this aspect of modernity. Yet, admittedly, a few of my poems below are cinquains, which is a form of poetry with 22 syllables in 5 lines (2-4-6-8-2)....

Larson's COLLEGE ALGEBRA is known for delivering sound explanations and exercises of mathematical concepts to prepare students for further study in math. With the Tenth Edition, Larson continues to transform the way students learn by including more real-world applications, ongoing review, and technology. "How Do You See It?" exercises let students apply concepts, and "Summarize" features and "Checkpoint" problems reinforce understanding of the skills they need to prepare for tests.
