Precalculus (6th Edition)

Summary: Good layout, good book
Review: A good book overall, but could be better. The explanations given by the author were difficult to understand at times, but not so difficult that you couldn't understand it after working through them a few times and doing the questions. It was still hard to get over some of their logic jumps and unexplained assumptions, though.
I thought this book used the best possible layout to build upon principles, chapter by chapter. I really didn't feel that any chapter was too easy or too difficult. A lot of thought went into planning the book so the information was learnable, but like I said above, the explanations didn't always effectively teach the information needed to solve the problems.

Summary: Great Book !
Review: A Must have Pre Calculus Book. I'm really satisfied with the text. Author did a great job explaning whole different aspects of pre cal. He gives nice slick introduction to Limits to prepare you for calculus. My teacher wasnt so great, I dont know how I could have made it in class with any other book. I'm never selling this book. Its a best Math book so far for me. Highly recommended !

Summary: Very user- friendly
Review: This book is very well laid out. It has easy to follow examples in the introduction to the chapters. After each example, you are referred to a homework problem patterned after the example. As you read the introduction, it explains how to solve a particular problem then refers you to say problem 7. If you then go and work problem 7, the ideas you just read are fresh in your mind and and get cemented even more because you are then applying the concept or method you just learned. Its a great way to begin recognizing types of problems and how to go about solving them. I am very pleased over all. I just wish I could get a hold of the solutions manual for this particular edition.
