Thank you I am a little late in writing this so I'd like to say sorry. The product wasn't what I was looking for but it was exactly what I ordered so that's my fualt. It arrived in great condition, Thank you. | ||
Practice makes perfect Schaum's outlines supplement concepts learned in the classroom by practicing solving problems of different kinds. I don't have to come up with the problems for my children to solve: the Outlines have plenty of material to use. | ||
Schuams Outline of PreCalculus When I ordered this book I was told it would arrive on or before 6/16/09. I still have not received it as of 6/24/09. I emailed the Amazon contact and notified them of my not receiving it on 6/20/09 and never received a response. I would not order from this party ever again. | ||
Clear and concise I like the layout and I think it is presented well, but I do not like the fact that the answers are right next to the questions. I think it would have been better to have a separate answer section so that you aren't influenced by seeing the answer before you've even thought about it. I've taught precalculus at the college level a number of time and I think this is a better product than most standard textbooks that students will never read (and most can't understand). | ||
Excellent Review Book or supplemental book As a math major and tutor I would say that this is a excellent review book or supplemental book. It has quite a few worked examples in it. Some of the explanations are a bit technical but they are correct. This is more of a reinforcement book not really intended to actually teach you pre-calculus because unless you are a math person teaching yourself math may prove quite difficult. It is always best to have a teacher or tutor explain the topics then practice and bring back questions to your teacher or tutor and if you are one of the less fortunate who get the occasional bad math teacher then you need to get a tutor and work with them to get the concept then work the problems. And the concept of what you are doing is always best explained by a person who already understands the material (of course there are always exceptions). | ||
