Negative Positive
Title: I suppose it depends on who is reviewing it.
Review: I got something from the book even if it was mostly reviewfor me. I liked the recursion and graph sections.I have Schaum's outlines:1) Essential Computer Mathematics2) Data StructuresThat cover some but not all of the same material.So why are the customer reviews so bad?The notation is hard for those unfamiliar with it?People with a good high school education should be able to get this is if it was taught well.So I think the problem is that college prep mathis failing and college instructors are just as bad as they were in my time.Don't blame it on the text if the problem is your preparation for the subject and your instructor?This material is "need to know" for Mathematics andComputer Science majors.I thought it was pretty well done,but I'm not answering the questions in a class room setting.Maybe he tried to cover too much in one text?It actually (laughing well) really needs a group theory section.
Is the review positive or negative?
