 Rating:  - Needs a better review for accuracyLots of good explanations - but also many sidebars which don't help. Biggest problem is lots of errors in the math examples which hopefully will be caught if reprinted: pg20 - 94 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 (meant to be 96=2x2x2x2x2x3) pg21 - this time correct prime factorization but still says 94 pg100 - products of 4 & 9 roots mixes addition and multiplication... 3 errors in the step-by-step process; complicated by using yet another "+" when should be "X" in the description afterwards.

I especially liked the explanations of how everyday formulas were derived. Much better than just memorizing the formulas. Not a lot of practice problems, so you'll have to get those elsewhere.

It contains a good overview of algebra and geometry. Topics are explained in a "light" and easy to understand language. Although I liked the inclusion of "formulas" throughout the book, I wish the authors would have made an appendix with all these formulas consolidated into one easy reference section. I also would have liked more of the "plug ins" (sample problems at the end of each chapter). For each chapter/topic ... Read More
