Title: PROFESSORS: this book is poorly written for you and your students
Review: My biggest peeve are the estimation problems. One problem asks about the weight of a dirty diaper... you get some that require you to estimate the speed of a ball being thrown. Is this a fast ball? A child throwing a ball? Should I estimate that the ball was being thrown at a zillion meters per millisecond? My point is that a lot of the questions seems lazy like they didn't want to solve the math themselves when they wrote it. I'm sure that's not actually the case, but it does seem like that. Their thought experiment questions are often poorly worded so you have multiple interpretations of the problem. Very few fun math problems. Many math problems are hard only because you aren't sure what they are asking, not because the math is difficult. The only thing it does do right is it's example problems are written very clearly. That's my two cents. Good luck with finding a decent book for your class.
