Hello, as the title states, which book is better for learning Precalculus? I heard David Cohen's is much more application/computational based and is better for learning Precalculus rather than Lang's. However, Lang is also good as well because he doesn't focus on plug and chug, but rather focuses on the deep understanding that prepares the reader for Calculus. I am still deciding on which book though, and if you please could give me advice on which book is better it would be much obliged.
