Description

Workshop Precalculus provides students with a bridge to the study of calculus and helps them develop the confidence, understanding, and skills necessary for continuing their study of mathematics. Based on the premise that students learn better by doing and constructing their own knowledge, the Workshop approach involves instructors giving up some command and control of the classroom in favor of giving the students more responsibility for their own learning; this approach eliminates the distinction between classroom and laboratory work.

By systematizing and supporting a simple interactive teaching format, Workshop Precalculus helps instructors implement sound methods that alternate between three primary components: Summary Discussions, Introductory Remarks, and Collaborative Activities. While students benefit greatly from performing computations and symbolic manipulations and sketching graphs by hand, the text integrates the use of the graphing calculator so that students learn to regard technology as a valuable tool.
