Title: Horrible Book, Bad Author
Review: I would recommend that NOBODY purchase this book. If you see the name "Roland E. Larson," try to avoid his math books. His Calculus book was wretched. A lot of the main points were never explained well, and then my teacher punished me for not understanding the things Larson never even cared to explain.In the lesson reviews, the final few questions are extremely difficult. What makes them difficult rarely even has to do with Calculus. It asks you to know some weird geometric formula or be able to do some weird trigonometric manipulation. Then I get graded for it, even though it's NOT a class in trigonometry or advanced geometry.Roland E. Larson: Stick to messing with numbers; don't mess with students.
