Title: My Students Do Not Like This Textbook
Product review: Our department has been using this book since September, 2001. Like most math teachers, I don't use the book much. So, I would have said that the book is fine. My students, however, have developed quite a passionate hatred of the book. They say it is difficult to read, the tone is patronizing, the exercises are not well matched to the examples, and the odd-numbered answers in the back of the book have several errors. Also, a couple of the more theoretical members of our department say that the book is off in some of it theory. Our department has decided to hunt for a new book for the fall of 2002.
