Precalculus Binder Ready Version with Binder Set Cynthia Y. Young Author
Overview
This Wiley Precalculus Binder-Ready edition by Cynthia Y. Young is a loose-leaf textbook designed for students and instructors who prefer a customizable, affordable course package. The pages are three-hole punched for standard 8.5 x 11-inch binders and the product ships with a Wiley binder set so you can organize chapters, inserts, and personal notes alongside the text.
