2.0 out of 5 stars This is book is completely lacking in everything., January 30, 2006

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Geometry: Explanations and Applications (Hardcover)

This book is lacking in examples, diagrams and as well as facts and information. The diagrams that are present do not provide the necessary information to actually LEARN form the book. As a result, we have to deviate from the textbook making it completely comfusing. DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK. It is simply not worth it.

I suggest Prentice Hall if you need a book, after using Prentice Hall for several years; I find it completely helpful and easy to learn from.

The book has few examples and it doesn't show HOW to do the problem, rather, it just explains what the problem is and quickly gives the solution. The chapters are organized in a fashionable manner but it is lacking in material, the answers are at the back of the book but what really ticks me off is the 'real life problems'. They give 4-5 of those in a lesson and they take at least half an hour of think and writing [that doesn't involve math' and then on the test, they never show up becuase the problem had nothing to do with the chapter. The book is just lacking in materials. Look at the publiciation date. 1998--this book is just wayyy out dated.

This review is from: Geometry: Explanations and Applications (Hardcover)

Now this is type of Geometry book it should be. More examples, answer key, and a glossary. Unlike that complicated Michael Serra Geometry book from hell.
