Errors,
This review is from: How to Solve Word Problems in Mathematics: Proven Techniques from an Expert (How to Solve Word Problems Series) (Paperback)
In the first chapter, the first set of practice word problems numbers 2 and 4 are just WRONG. I took the book back to the bookstore at that point, and don't have time to count the errors in the book, but wish I did. This is a dangerous book for anybody who is struggling with mathematics; the student is going to come away more confused.

This review is from: How to Solve Word Problems in Mathematics: Proven Techniques from an Expert (How to Solve Word Problems Series) (Paperback)
This book helped me get through word problems in math when I was in college. When a friend of mine was having trouble with math, I recommended this book to her. I was dissapointed to read from another reviewer that there were errors in the first two math problems. So, I ordered the book and lo and behold I found the errors. If you can forgive this fault from the author, you can benefit from his excellent advise on "how to" approach math problems, i.e., he shows you how to take the mystery out of it. I still appreciate the book and how it helped me get through math at the higher levels.
