 Too few examples December 9, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
There are too few examples in this book. And the examples that are present are for the easiest problems only. Each section's problems are divied up into A (easiest), B (harder), and C (hardest). That's fine, but they give examples and explanations for A-level problems only.

I LOVE this book!! This has a various problems. They separate each sets of problems for A-C. I had a 100% every quarter with this text book. The reason why I deducted a point is that they don't always explain the harder problems. I personally think they shoudld make more different examples of problems. I have a great math teacher, so she explains stuff that I am not quite sure. But this book should be used only by advanced and intermidiates math students. This book moves with a fast past and it uses a lot of difficult math terms for special eds. I that because of my friend and I know their pace. [...]. A great source for step-by-step solution incase anyone don't know what it is. My school purchased the account and it is a great accomidation to this book. I am an eight grader in advance math, my class went through the whole book!!! LOVE IT!!!

This is a well thought out Algebra textbook. I started teaching from it earlier this year and have grown to appreciate it very much. I am especially pleased the more I compare this to other books. Most math books these days are little more than pretty colors, crazy fonts, neat pictures, lots of distractions, and very little actual math instruction. This book, on the other hand, actually focuses on the math, explains it reasonably well, and has great sets of real example problems and practice problems of all difficulty levels, including lots of practical problems that aren't forced or contrived. It is not perfect, but it is the best I have seen.br /br /Pros:br /*Lots of math rather than lots of silly distractionsbr /*Appropriate difficulty level - not "dumbed down"br /*Good examples worked out and explainedbr /*Good problem sets for homework and practicebr /br /Cons:br /*Some explanations are just a bit short, although most are goodbr /*Factoring, the hardest topic, is early in the book, which makes it difficult for some students
