5.0 out of 5 stars
First Class,
This review is from: Fundamentals of Mathematics (10th Edition) (Hardcover)
I have used Setek's text through several editions over a 15 year period with non-science majors and have continually found it to be a cut above other texts for similar venues with my students. He uses straightforward language and traditional coverage without mincing words or creating confusion. The student is entirely able to use and grasp both concept and function without misconceptions or error. Surely the best text of its type.
