ABOUT THE AUTHOR
R
evathi Narasimhan received her Ph.D.in Applied Mathematics from the Uni-
versity of Maryland at College Park. She grew up in Mesa,Arizona and re-
ceived her undergraduate degree at Arizona State University.She is currently
on the faculty of the Mathematics Department at Kean University in Union,
New Jersey.
Professionally trained to apply the principles of analysis and algebra,she is keen on
helping her students understand the “big picture” concepts in mathematics, whether
at the graduate or undergraduate level. In addition to this textbook, she has written
scholarly articles for academic journals and technology supplements for other text-
books.
She and her husband,a research microbiologist,have two sons.Reva likes to garden
and sew and is an avid reader.

PREFACE
Our Mission
The goal of College Algebra and Trigonometry: Building Concepts and Connections is to
teach students to more clearly see how mathematical concepts connect and relate.We
set out to accomplish this goal in two fundamental ways.
Functions as a Unifying Theme
First,we considered the order in which functions should be presented relative to their
corresponding equations.Accordingly,rather than present a comprehensive review of
equations and equation solving in Chapter 1,we introduce functions in Chapter 1.We
then present related equations and techniques for solving those equations in the con-
text of their associated functions. When equations are presented in conjunction with
their “functional”counterparts in this way,students come away with a more coherent
picture of the mathematics.
Pedagogical Reinforcement
We also created a pedagogy that “recalls” previous topics and skills by way of linked
examples and Just in Time exercises and references.Through these devices, students
receive consistent prompts that enable them to better remember and apply what they
have learned.
Ultimately,our hope is that through College Algebra and Trigonometry: Building Concepts
and Connections, students will develop a better conceptual understanding of the sub-
ject and achieve greater preparedness for future math courses.
Which Textbook is Right for You?
We recognize that instructors’needs in this course area are diverse.By offering varia-
tion in the coverage of trigonometry—in particular, variation in the right triangle ap-
proach relative to the unit circle approach—this series strives to meet everyone’s needs.
College Algebra and Trigonometry: Building Concepts and Connections
Do you put as much emphasis on the right triangle ap-
proach as you do the unit circle approach to find the
values of trigonometric functions of non-acute angles?
If so,we recommend College Algebra and Trigonometry.
Precalculus: Building Concepts and Connections
Do you emphasize use of the unit circle to find the val-
ues of trigonometric functions of non-acute angles,
more so than the right triangle approach?
If so,we recommend Precalculus.
