Strong Algebra and Trig skills are crucial to success in calculus. This text is designed to bolster these skills while students study calculus. As students make their way through the calculus course, this supplemental text shows them the relevant algebra or trigonometry topics and points out potential problem spots. The table of contents is organized so that the algebra and trigonometry topics are arranged in the order in which they are needed for calculus.
I finally finished this, about 15 years after I started it, just in time to start the calculus text I just got for Xmas. This was an excellent book and I feel very well prepared for calculus now. I'll add more when I'm well into the new book and can see if I'm as prepared as I feel.
