4.0 out of 5 stars
A Great Intro to math concepts,
This review is from: The Mathematical Palette (Hardcover)
This book served as a great introduction to almost all math concept. Each capter could easily expand into a 500 page book but that wasn't the intent of the author. I had this book as required reading in a class. The second chapter was a bit of a hurdle but well worth it. It explains this relatively cleary however I highly suggest you get the student study guide. You can become easily lost without it as the other assumes you know certain basic concepts. All in all I gave it four of five stars. Hopefully he will publish a second edition soon.

2.0 out of 5 stars
horribly lenthy, confusing and indirect,
By Dave O (San Pedro, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Mathematical Palette (with BCA/iLrn(TM) Tutorial and InfoTrac) (Advantage Series) (Hardcover)
No liberal arts major can make this stuff out. Im a student who usualy gets As in math but this book is so roundabout and confusing i dont know what im looking at half of the time. It's examples are not clear at all and do not resemble the text questions well enough, the way the questions are set up, with writing, questions, then harder questions, really dont help and are plain tedius, annoying and confusing. Nothing about this book supports positive learning, you can read the example problems and everything else provided, then go to the questions and still have no clue what to do. If you must teach or enroll in this course with this book, find a really good teacher as thats the only way to find this material presented in a straightforward way. a bad time all around.
