 Awesome addition to your home or classroom! March 15, 2010

I used this book when I was student teaching and it was an awesome resource. I like the tricks it gives you to remember key points. For example, to remember the geometric angles, the book gives you this sentence: All Riddles Often Sound Ridiculous. Take the first letter of each word and you remember your angles from smallest: Acute, Right, Obtuse, Straight, Reflex How cool is this?
FANTASTIC! February 28, 2010

This book is labeled as a resource book for basic mathematics, a reference to be consulted by students when a topic needs to be refreshed. The sections are:
*) Numeration - the base ten numeration system, rational and irrational numbers
*) Number theory - factors, powers and roots
*) Computation - addition, subtraction, multiplication and division
*) Algebra - the basic notation, properties, tactics, equations and relations and functions
*) Graphs and statistics - organizing and graphing data, standard deviation is the most complex statistic covered
*) Geometry - plane and solid geometric figures, angles
*) Ratio, proportion and percent
*) Probability and odds - counting techniques of permutations and combinations, probability and odds.
A series of supplemental tactics appears in the appendix.
The coverage of each item is extremely brief, therefore this book cannot be used to educate, the reader must already have covered and understood the topic for it to be useful. My opinion is that the best use of the book is for the teacher or helpful parent to use it as a quick refresher of the mathematical topics to be covered. If the student is confused, looking through this book will likely not be of much help.
Awesome book! October 29, 2009

This book has helped with homework tremendously. Especially for Mom, not always remembering how some of the math processes work.
