Mathematics Made Simple (Made Simple)

Review: Disappointing! At first glance this book does have lots potential in terms of simplifying concepts and formulas, but it is loaded with mistakes - not only in the answer sections, but also regarding some of the methods. I applied their "Method for Finding Square Roots" to numbers other than the given examples, and it did not work. This is not a good buy - even if one merely needs a refresher in math.

Review: I personally have tried the formulas for square roots and higher roots and have been successful at obtaining accurate answers. Although these formulas are difficult and mistakes can easily be made, they are accurate if one is careful and pays attention to detail. Although the dot used in the formula is a separator and not a decimal. This may be the cause of inaccurate answers.

Review: This is a helpful math book,it covers a lot of subjects from basic math to some pretty difficult topics.My only problem with it is that there are a bunch of wrong answers in the "answer" section,but it just made me hunt and work that much harder to find the correct answers.I hope they do a revision of this book because I would like to give it as a gift,but not at this time with all the mistakes in it.
