This is truly the very best math textbook I can ever bear in mind using. I simply finished taking a university math course while working to obtain further teaching certificates (job safety!). I took the course online and taught myself EVERYTHING I wanted to know simply from utilizing this text. Ideas that I discovered earlier than have been simple to recall.
New data was clearly introduced with vital points and targets located within the margins of the text. Plenty of examples had been offered, together with TONS of practice problems. I can not say sufficient about how pleasing it was to use this textbook!! If only I had this in highschool, I might have gotten higher grades in math class!
I had the consideration of being in Dr. Blitzers calculus class at Miami Dade College in 1982. He drove a VW beetle and had Zapata mustache and rimmed glasses. He was a superb teacher and supreme pal to all students.
His office was plastered with cartoon strips sent by his students and had a picture of Richard Nixon pasted to the carpet where it had to be stepped upon on entry.
He has been an inspiration to me all these years. I cant wait for my boys to get to Highschool in order that they'll use his books.
Bob, if you're on the market, my salute to you. You're nice and I cherish your method of teaching. Thanks sir.
This is a great purchase for you college students out there who don't want to carry a heavy textbook round all of the time. You may place the pages you want in a binder and change off the chapters or pages you want for every day relatively than carrying all the book.
The pages do rip the place the holes are punched if there isn't sufficient house when turning the pages, but that may be mounted with those unfastened-leaf hole stickers.
This book is a comparatively easy read that explains, in writing, the process used to reach at the answer.It additionally has pattern issues that aren't all the time completed to the final step, which I found frustrating. I have to see ALL of the steps. Some issues didn't have examples, which was troublesome to overlook. Total, not too bad.
