Why Did You Choose Michael Sullivan's Precalculus Textbook Over David Cohen's?

Last week, I purchased the Michael Sullivan Precalculus textbook 5th Edition, a book I had in my collection in 2006. I will use this book to continue my precalculus journey as I make my way to calculus 1. Anxiously waiting for the textbook to arrive in the mail. I will stop by the post office box next week.

So, putting precalculus on hold for now. In terms of the David Cohen 3rd Edition Precalculus With Unit Circle Trigonometry textbook, I will post questions from Cohen's book from time to time but not use it on a regular basis because it is an advanced book most likely for an honor precalculus course. At 55, there is no need to worry about upcoming exams for my school days ended in the Fall 1993 semester. I am slowly but surely going to complete my review of precalculus, which is ok thus far. No need to rush through any textbook. You say?

Hello, it's great to hear that you are continuing your precalculus journey and have purchased the Michael Sullivan textbook. It's always beneficial to have a reliable and familiar resource when studying a subject. However, I would like to point out that using multiple textbooks can provide a well-rounded understanding of the material. So, I encourage you to also utilize the David Cohen textbook from time to time, even if it is more advanced. It can provide a different perspective and challenge your understanding of the material. Additionally, it's important to not rush through any textbook, as understanding the concepts thoroughly is key in mathematics. Good luck with your studies!
