Contemporary Precalculus Through Applications
Written by Taylor Gibson , NCSSM Dean of Mathematics
January 2022
After several years of hard work the NCSSM Math Department is proud to announce that with the help of UNC Press we've completed the final touches on the third edition of our Contemporary Precalculus Through Applications textbook. After the second edition went out of print years ago we knew we wanted to revive this book and prepare it for future generations of students. The updated data sets, plots, and diagrams breathe new life into this classic textbook and the digital edition makes it easier than ever to make it your go-to Precalculus resource.
