Negative Positive
Title: Worst math textbook ever.
Review: The authors of this textbook (Stewart, Watson, and Redlin) have severely failed to create an understandable approach to mathematics. As soon as you start your homework in this book they will start you off with the most complicated exercise in the chapter. Unlike other textbooks which generally have some sort of progression in difficulty as you move through the homework.The authors continuously mix up concepts in the chapters. If you have learned one thing, expect a random question with concepts you have not learned.The authors assume the student knows mathematics as well as they do.The student solutions manual is a joke as well. Steps are skipped and the layout is poorly done. There will be instances where the solution is "see Excercise 7.4.42".I hate this book with a passion.
