Chapter 1 Functions and Graphs
This chapter is mostly a review of pre-calculus. In class we cover just some topics from the last two sections: exponentials, inverse functions, and logarithms. Also, within those two section we skip some topics for now:
- Inverse trigonometric functions will be reviewed when we encounter them in Section 3.7.
- Hyperbolic functions and their inverses are left till MATH 220, Calculus 2.
However, if you have not seen some of these omitted topics for a while, or are curious, you can review them; the three earlier sections of the chapter are:
