Summary: Canned methods, sloppy....
Comment: THe credentials of the authors speak in bounds... Drexel University and Georgia Perimeter College???!?!?! GPC is a 2-year. Anyways, all that aside, the presentation of the material is horrible. Obviously, the background of these authors is that of 1,2,3 methods, with absolutely no concept of any concepts behind the material. The problems/examples are unrelated to the material in the chapters, and no preparation was given to answer them. Our professor even said that he emailed the writer to change the wording in a few questions, the writer agreed wholeheartedly, and yet the question remained in the next edition....
IN the age of Chubb Institute and quickie-degree schools, this book would do fine. Math, in my opinion, while can be learned with these methods, is useless without the knowledge of how it came about, why it is used, and theory or explanation/background. This book provides none of this. I do not recommend it to anyone. ESPECIALLY not one of "beginner" status(...)

Summary: A fine and useful book.
Comment: I have never been a math wizard, but I really enjoyed this book, and have kept it around because it is so helpful.
I appreciate the organization of the book. If you want to study a chapter out of sequence, the opening page tells you which earlier chapters are necessary to understand the new one. The exercises in each section are progressive - you can understand the topic with the first few problems, and by the time you work through the section you will REALLY understand it.
I used the fourth edition, published in 2000, so perhaps there are some inaccuracies in the earlier edition. I found few examples of wrong answers.
Rating: 2
Summary: Difficult, Innacurate, but Topical
Comment: The textbook is difficult to understand and many of the answers in the back of the book are wrong. Also it addresses lots of good topics but mostle hard to understand.
