Identifying domains, ranges, and the behavior of linear, polynomial, and rational functions.
Properties of integers, rational numbers, and irrational numbers.
While modern textbooks often focus on "how" to solve a problem through repetitive drills, Leithold’s work is celebrated for its and clear explanations . His teaching style—which famously mentored Jaime Escalante (the subject of the film Stand and Deliver )—is reflected in the way the book builds a solid conceptual foundation.
