4.0 out of 5 stars
A textbook that works, but stresses some unnecessary points,
By A Customer
This review is from: Math Concepts (Hardcover)
All in all, it's a complete precalculus textbook, covering topics from graphing, to trigonometry, to conic sections, to the surface of calculus. It contains many "real life" applications of advanced concepts, in a semi-successful attempt to quell agonizing exclamations of "When will I ever need to know this?!"But I turn to page 428 (for example), within Chapter 8 ("Vectors and Parametric Equations"), and I see a green box: "DECISION MAKING -- Choosing a Used Car," and it goes off on a tangent, asking the student, "what you would look for in a used car," or, "will you need to borrow money from your family or a bank?" Remember now, this is a HIGH SCHOOL MATH TEXTBOOK. Although the book contains a full precalculus curriculum, each chapter is sprinkled with such irrelevancies. The text refers often to graphing calculators and other electronic tools for solving problems -- an added bonus, if your school has these tools.

Very Good Text Book,

This review is from: Math Concepts (Hardcover)
This is a very good text book that I am using for my 10th Grade Pre-Calculus Honors Math Class. It is easy to teach and to learn from.
