When you try to apply the content in the book to the problems in the book and the problems on the online learning system, you realize how pathetic the book is at preparing you to work the problems.
Q: What's worse?
A: When you professor doesn't even follow the book, burns an entire hour of lecture deriving equations on the
board without working any examples, and is so lazy that they assign an online homework system instead of
written homework.
This isn't a book for students.
This book is for sadistic show off professors and egotistical scientists that take pleasure in telling students how much they don't know instead of relating the material in the book to the problems in the book.
The authors have terrible skills at relating the material to the audience (college students). All the formulas are presented in derivations and proofs which is completely ridiculous as problems are deductions from generalizations. Sure, its necessary to have a formula, but there is not enough applications within the in chapter text to apply those formulas to the varieties of problems you are faced in the online homework system.
TERRIBLE!!!!!
I am truly upset with the order but at least I have a book to study from. As for the homework assignments, I am now doing every little bit o extra credit that I can to make up for it.
