Mathematics: Its Power and Utility ReviewI bought this book for a college math class. The book covers the topics of math and even has a chapter called math anxiety which is about dispelling the myths about math and how to overcome your fears and bad experiences with previous math classes.
The main issues I have with this book is... There is only one example given for a problem and he doesn't explain the rules/principles of math. For example on page 55 if you were to find the LCD (lowest common denominator) for 6 and 8.
The solution shows 6 = 2 X 3 and 8 = 2 to the third power.
So the LCD is: 2 third power X 3 = 8 X 3 = 24
That's it! There's no explanation has to how he came up with the numbers that he did! He just did and that's it!
For someone who understands the rules of math very well or is just using this book as a recent refresher reference, they might disagree with my review. But for someone who has never really had a grasp on math and it's rules (or doesn't know the rules at all) will find using this book (and the class) very frustrating.
My advice is if this book is required for your class and you're having trouble understanding the concepts or you find yourself saying "How the "BLEEP" did he come up with that answer!?" find a good supplement book and DO ask your teacher for help.Mathematics: Its Power and Utility Overview
