"This book gives you the expert, one-on-one instruction you need, whether you're new to pre-calculus or you're looking to ramp up your skills. Providing easy-to-understand concepts and thoroughly explained exercises, math whiz Stan Gibilisco serves as your own private tutor--without the expense! His clear, friendly guidance helps you tackle the concepts and problems that confuse you the most and work through them at your own pace. It features checkpoints to help you track your knowledge and skill level; problem/solution pairs and chapter-ending quizzes to reinforce learning; fully explained answers to all practice exercises; a multiple-choice exam to prepare you for standardized tests; and 'extra credit' and 'challenge' problems to stretch your mind."--Publisher's description
