It's okay for those who have some clue on the subject

By Marie - August 14, 2000

This book was okay. I mean if I didn't remember what my teacher taught me I would be lost. I mean this book is to help you understand what your teacher has already taught you. I only use it as a review to refresh my memory, but if you want to learn it good luck. It doesn't cover all the material that pre-calculus needs. Basically this book covers mostly stuff from Algebra 2 and some from pre-calculus/trig. The book can be confusing for some parts, and other parts he explains pretty well. But basically if you want to better your pre-calculus skills you'll have to buy a separate book to quiz you. This book only has examples.

Hated It!

By S. Gilliam - July 31, 2000

With all of the hype presented on the cover of this book, I was looking forward to reading it. I was also hoping that this book would easily prepare me for precalc. This book was as confusing and difficult to conceptualize as some of the "teachers" who teach the subject. I wasted my money. I spent more time trying to figure out what was going on in the book that it made me forget was was going on at the begining of the chapter. Again "Hated It".

Excellent Review for Calculus

By A Customer - March 24, 2000

This book provided an excellent review of the precalculus that is necessary to master calculus. His explanations are simple and precise. I highly recommend this book. It makes an intimidating subject matter like math easy to understand.
