| Trigonometry: A Unit Circle Approach (8th Edition) by Prentice Hall ... |
This is the worst math book I have EVER used. Awful awful. When I needed help, did I turn to my outrageously priced trig book? Nope! Google was of more help than this book.
So, what is wrong with it?
No background. I hadn't been in school for 7 years. I was a bit rusty and this book was of no help. It has really bad examples (if you are lucky enough to get an example for the type of problem you are working) that skip steps and don't give any explanation of the concepts.
The my mathlab that comes with this book is great. It really supplements where the book fails. |
| Trigonometry: A Unit Circle Approach (8th Edition) by Prentice Hall Horrible!!! |
| This book is so bad. I have to use it for my Trig class, and it is very unclear, your lucky if you get an example in the book, and its just horrible. Formuals and concepts are BARELY explained. I hate this book. It makes you totally depend on your teacher for help, becasue this won't do you any good. |
| Trigonometry: A Unit Circle Approach (8th Edition) by Prentice Hall Vague and Unclear |
| The textbook does not have central focus and all the formulas are not explained properly. The explanations are overbroad and vague and do not focus on the most important stuff. I would not recommend this textbook to any student. The two stars I give is for the nice paper it is printed on. |
| Trigonometry: A Unit Circle Approach (8th Edition) by Prentice Hall Needs improvement! |
| The explanations in this book could be more concise for students who have other assignments to study and fulfill. Throughout all my years in reading mathematical textbooks, this one does not head straight-to-the-point. The author spends more time introducing the subject than explaining how one step is derived from another in the examples, which leaves the student to spend time figuring how one concept abruptly transitions into the next. Aside from that, the exercise questions sometimes do not relate to the examples given in the book. |
