1 out of 5 stars Very basic math mistakes throughout   November 21, 2009
Getting Better (New Jersey)
This book might be helpful for the basic strategies to solve math and other problems, but you will need to ignore their actual answers. Many math problems have both the wrong answers and wrong results of each step to get to them.
For example: To solve 0.0009 x 500 x 0.04 x 20 = ???, one step shown is "multiply 9 x 4 x 5 x 2 = 36 x 10 = 3600" (should be 360). Then they say to count the decimal places that were moved to get to the simplified equation. However, they only look at two of the numbers in the equation instead of all four. They say move the decimal in the result 6 to the left since .0009 and .04 required moving the decimal 4 to the right and 2 to the right. They ignore the 500 and 20 values.
TWO MISTAKES IN ONE PROBLEM!
The right answer is 360 with decimal moved 3 to the left = 0.36
They say it should be 3600 with decimal moved 6 to the left = .0036



3 out of 5 stars Good for the review but too many important publishing errors...   November 9, 2009
ClearlyAmbiguous
I was excited to see a book that had a clearly laid out homework plan for how much time one might need. I found everything I read to be a good review. The biggest problem I found was that there were many typos, and mistakes made by the publisher on the practice problems. Math is straightforward, and there is always an answer. For example, a question would say "simplify 1/4 times 21/5", but then explain the answer using "1/4 times 5/21". It makes you feel like you are wrong when the book messed up. Too many simple mistakes that should have been fixed before publishing.
