## Description

Buy Precalculus Mathematics in a Nutshell: Geometry, Algebra, Trigonometry Illustrated by Simmons, George F. (ISBN: 8601406487697) from desertcart's Book Store. Everyday low prices and free delivery on eligible orders.

Review: Very nicely written and concise - Really helped me to grasp some basic concepts. Short but highly effective.
Review: I wanted to better understand the mathematics often used to describe AC electricity - It's my understanding that sticking to the point was one of the objectives of the author and reasons for writing this book, and it delivers on this very well I thought, whilst at the same time covering a lot of ground. It is made up of three standalone chapters: Geometry, Algebra and Trigonometry, all of which I found enjoyable and informative. For me, the author's clear thinking and expertise shines through throughout the book, though I am not a mathematician I should note. The trigonometry chapter focuses on the trigonometric functions (sin, cos etc.) and emphasizes that they are not just all about navigating or assessing the height of a tree, but also (and according to the author most importantly) "the mathematical description of vibrations, rotations and periodic phenomena of all kinds". As it happens I already knew this and it was part of why I bought a pre-calculus book, i.e. I wanted to better understand the mathematics often used to describe AC electricity, so I was pleased to find this slant was taken. The Algebra chapter went further than I had expected, introducing logarithms, determinants and systems of linear equations, geometric progressions and series, arithmetic progressions, permutations and combinations, the binomial theorem and mathematical induction. The Geometry chapter like the rest of the book keeps to the essentials. There are also exercises interspersed throughout the book that consolidate and deepen the reader's understanding (and confidence perhaps). The reader is very well supported by this book, but also encouraged to go away and contemplate why some of the given results are true. I thought it was a great book for beginners or those looking to refresh their knowledge. I bought the paperback version, which was absolutely fine despite appearing to me to have been printed to a smaller than intended paper size.
