Okay, this book - the second edition - does teach you some neat small tricks here and there, but ladies and gentlemen, this is beyond pale - THE MISTAKES in the book, especially in the MATH section. For all of you who are going to give it to your kids' eyes - please please pay attention:

1) The answers for the task on COS, SIN, and TG of angle b on page 104-105 (revealed on page 106) ARE WRONG. I was shocked to see such negligence in an instruction book. They confused SIN with COS. Please de-confuse the kids.


2) Task # 12 on page 162 is explained in a wrong way (explanation and answer are given on page 201), they say "Plug in 2 for x". Well, plugging in 2 for x does not work. Use other variable.


3) Task # 2 on page 163 contains NO right answer among the multiple choice - what they give you as a right answer on page 201-202 is WRONG. Variable l there is missing it's 4th degree.

I am really saddened to see such negligence in a book like this. Please refer to possibly updated and reprinted copies.
