These books are intended to prepare a student for a first course in Calculus after completing a study of intermediate algebra and basic functions. Part I begins with a review of basic trigonometry and continues with analytic trigonometry and applications. Part II deals with polar functions, an introduction to the complex plane, conic sections, systems of equations and ends with an introduction to sequences. Companion videos are included throughout with web links and QR codes that enable hardcopy access to these videos.
