Precalculus

Written by: David H. Collingwood and K. David Prince of the University of Washington

Oddly enough, students who where succeeding in their university’s precalculus course did not always do well in their calculus courses. Two mathematics professors at the University of Washington decided to ensure that their calculus students were properly prepared. They wrote their own text, with the straightforward title of Precalculus. David H. Collingwood and K. David Prince have been using that textbook for their courses since 2003.

The last time I visited their site, their free online precalculus textbook was showing a copyright date of September 2, 2010.
