Description

"Geometry is a very beautiful subject whose qualities of elegance, order, and certainty have exerted a powerful attraction on the human mind for many centuries. . . Algebra's importance lies in the student's future. . . as essential preparation for the serious study of science, engineering, economics, or for more advanced types of mathematics. . . The primary importance of trigonometry is not in its applications to surveying and navigation, or in making computations about triangles, but rather in the mathematical description of vibrations, rotations, and periodic phenomena of all kinds, including light, sound, alternating currents, and the orbits of the planets around the sun." In this brief, clearly written book, the essentials of geometry, algebra, and trigonometry are pulled together into three complementary and convenient small packages, providing an excellent preview and review for anyone who wishes to prepare to master calculus with a minimum of misunderstanding and wasted time and effort. Students and other readers will find here all they need to pull them through.

George Simmons received his undergraduate degree from the California Institute of Technology and his graduate degrees from the University of Chicago and Yale University. His previous books include 'Introduction to Topology and Modern Analysis' (1962) and 'Differential Equations with Applications and Historical Notes' (1972). 'Precalculus Mathematics in a Nutshell' was written after many years of teaching calculus courses convinced the author that a clearly focused, brief review of high school mathematics should be available -- one which highlights the important ideas of geometry, algebra, and trigonometry and makes them easy to understand and remember.

**描述**

「幾何學是一個非常美麗的學科,其優雅、秩序和確定性的特質在幾個世紀以來對人類心智產生了強大的吸引力……代數的重要性在於學生的未來……作為科學、工程、經濟學或更高級數學的嚴肅學習的必要準備……三角學的主要重要性不在於其在測量和導航中的應用,或在於對三角形的計算,而在於對各種振動、旋轉和週期現象的數學描述,包括光、聲音、交流電流以及行星繞太陽運行的軌道。」在這本簡短且清晰的書中,幾何學、代數和三角學的基本要素被整合成三個互補且方便的小包裝,為任何希望以最小的誤解和浪費時間與精力來掌握微積分的人提供了極好的預覽和複習。學生和其他讀者將在此找到他們所需的一切,以幫助他們通過學習。

喬治·西蒙斯(George Simmons)在加州理工學院獲得學士學位,並在芝加哥大學和耶魯大學獲得研究生學位。他的前著作包括《拓撲學與現代分析導論》(1962年)和《帶應用與歷史註釋的微分方程》(1972年)。《簡明的預備微積分數學》是在多年教授微積分課程後寫成的,作者深信應該有一本清晰聚焦、簡短的高中數學回顧書籍——一本突顯幾何學、代數和三角學重要概念並使其易於理解和記憶的書籍。
