Precalculus: Mathematics for Calculus prepares students for success in calculus by emphasizing conceptual understanding, problem-solving skills, and mathematical reasoning. Stewart, Redlin, and Watson integrate real-world applications with clear explanations, worked examples, and a strong balance between algebraic, graphical, and numerical perspectives.
The 7th edition refines the text with updated exercises, technology support, and new features designed to strengthen critical thinking. Its logical structure covers functions, trigonometry, analytic geometry, systems, sequences, and more—providing a solid foundation for higher-level mathematics.
Ideal for college precalculus courses, this standalone text is widely used for students transitioning into calculus, engineering, and science programs.
