4.0 out of 5 stars
I got an A in my course..., May 12, 2010
This review is from: Technical Mathematics (Hardcover)
This book was actually very good at explaining some rather complicated things (to me anyway!). There were a few errors in the examples in the early chapters (most notably the chapter reviewing/intro to algebra - things like signs inverted) but these may actually have helped me because I was less likely to turn to the answer key without really trying to get it myself. The online companion part is fantastic, and in my opinion really justifies the price (which is quite high even for a text book). Overall I recommend this book, just make sure you check your answers rather than necessarily take theirs as correct :) I got an A in my class (after only really having a low level understanding of higher level math before) - so it taught me well enough. My only gripe is that the answer key only lists the odd-numbered questions (all answers available online), and even the online part only shows step-by-step solutions for the odd numbered questions - some of the even numbered ones I'd like to have seen a guide on.

i found it to be funny i got the wrong edition for my class. I liked that though the book was smaller and packed just as much in
