This review is from: Schaum's Outline of College Mathematics (Paperback)

Being a college student,I do not agree with the first review at all. This is a great book. It covers the FUNDAMENTALS of college algebra, discrete mathematics, trigonometry, analytic geomety, and calculus. This study guide is the best tutor you could ask for. It really produces results without overwhelming you with unnecessary details. You get a complete overview of the subject. Plus you get plenty of practice exercises to test your skills!! It's perfect for preparing you for any exam. You'll see it when you get your test results. I highly recommend it. Try it for yourself before believing negative reviews.

This review is from: Schaum's Outline of College Mathematics (Schaum's Outline Series) (Paperback)

I used this book to study for a placement test to get into college Calculus. I am preparing to be a graduate student and had not been in college for over 6 years. this book was the perfect starting point to review all the material covered up to calculus. It starts from basic arithmetic all the way to pre-cal and trigonometry. any problems i could not figure out how to solve i asked a tutor. It was great because it let me focus exactly on the topics i did not know well - the result - i aced the exam and got an A in calculus. now im in calc 2 and doing well.
