Editorial Reviews

Product Description
<>Gets Them Engaged. Keeps Them Engaged

 

Blitzer's philosophy: present the full scope of mathematics, while always (1) engaging the student by opening their minds to learning (2) keeping the student engaged on every page (3) explaining ideas directly, simply, and clearly so they don't get "lost" when studying and reviewing.

5.0 out of 5 stars A math book with a sense of humor, November 29, 2007
If you take the time to read the book it is engaging and sometimes funny. The author explains the math very well using real-world situtations. The application problems are great for bringing the concepts home.

4.0 out of 5 stars Hello., September 18, 2008
this covers the basics first and then goes on to of course the harder stuff. It is a good book. I received it soon after ordering and it was a great price for such a "good-looking" used book.
