Negative Positive
Title: Good to jog your memory but be leary of answers given. (3rd ed included)
Review: Background:I am using this book after being out of formal schools for 10 yrs now. The local college suggested it for its coverage of the subjects covered for the math placement test.Pros:Math in general was a strong suit in HS and with the help of this book it has been like riding a bike. I like the way Barbara makes the review process more challenging and covers the pertinent rules with good examples and explanations.Cons:There are too many errors in the Examples and the Exercises that really kicked me in the confidence. On the bright side, I worked 3 times as many problems that I generated myself or found online to exercise what I learned and checked all my answers.Conclusion:This book did a good job of reviewing critical rules and special cases, the lessons were clear but it was very time consuming having to double check if your answers were actually right because of a lack of confidence in the books answers.
