《微積分預備課程：微積分入門》只關注學生在學習微積分時真正需要掌握的知識點。本書適用於具備中級代數基礎的課程，且不假定學生已掌握任何三角函數知識。本書涵蓋的主題包括反函數、對數、半衰期和指數增長、面積、e、指數函數、自然對數和三角函數。
Precalculus: A Prelude to Calculus focuses only on topics that students actually need to succeed in calculus. This book is geared towards courses with intermediate algebra prerequisites and it does not assume that students remember any trigonometry. It covers topics such as inverse functions, logarithms, half-life and exponential growth, area, e, the exponential function, the natural logarithm and trigonometry.
