Why there are these different reviews
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
I had this book in freshman yr. as well as the geometry book that follows in sophmore yr of high school. In my own classes i often found that the people whom said bad things about the book such as those in the following reviews are the people who either did not pay attention in class, or did not care about the subject enough to put the effort to try to understand the matter. On the other hand, some of the concepts were a little advanced, but my teachers usually explained them in a way we could understand.If the student is doing their job as well as the teachers there shouldn't be a problem with this book. I would strongly recommend it.
BEST BOOK EVER

Don't listen to what the other people are saying. I got first hand experience on this book. I must say that this is probably the best and most easy to understand math book i have ever used. The answer key in the back allows the user to assure that their answers are correct. If you are considering buying this book, i must say YES, DEFINATELY BUY THIS BOOK, IT WILL BE WORTH YOUR WHILE!!!!
Simply amazing

I can't believe the negative reviews submitted by others on this text. The text is meant to be used with all of the ancillary materials (Workbooks,Personal Tutor CD-ROM, Notetaking Guide, etc.) There are also transparencies for every chapter. The entire mathematics program from Larson is designed with this format. These are high school level mathematics courses and at the Houghton Mifflin website you will find college level mathematics courses by the same author. In fact, this author takes you from beginning Algebra all the way to Calculus and Differential Equations (high school thru college). I was so impressed with the computer tutorial CD-ROM because everything is explained in detail and there are computer quizzes to take after every lesson segment. These quizzes were designed to verify comprehension of the material before the student moves forward to the next lesson. Great job by all of those involved in putting this program together!
