Negative Positive
Title: Concepts clearly presented but too many disconcerting errors.
Review: The lay-out and range of topics are very attractive and useful for people who want to refresh their beginning algebra knowledge. However, in a quick read-through and working of about a third of the exercises, I found at least 5 errors in the text. Unfortunately, they were not obvious typos. Rather, they were errors that made me wonder whether I was mistaken in my understanding. As a mid-career, lateral-entry middle school math teacher who was already questioning her sanity, I lost a bit of sleep over some of these points until I could recheck my knowledge base in the morning.Maybe Barron's will do better with the 3rd edition.
Is the review positive or negative?
