Customer Reviews

Textbooks that are great

The vendor, Textbooksrus, has supplied me with several books and all have been top quality. The descriptions are understated. The condition has always been better than the discription and service/delivery times have been excellent. I would definitely recommend this vendor for college textbooks.

Perfect

Textbook on Finite Mathematics was received in perfect condition. The textbook was received in a timely manner. I am sure that when my course starts I will be prepared to be successful. Thank you

A well written text

I like the many graphs, examples and diagrams. The only thing I really object to is that it appears to be a course work text and expecting anyone (first time) to take in this amount of information in a short time like a semester course would be troubling. There are parts here that are full year courses or longer. My estimate is that the book could be used for four semester courses in a fair manner. The object of education has to be to educate the student, not kill him with homework... breaking good students should be frowned upon! The text is also a very good reference book, but lacks what I would call "full exposure" to axiomatic proofs.

Excellent!

This is a useful book for anyone involved in mathematics. This book has many practice problems as well as solutions. It also contains many problems that pertain to everyday life at home or office. This book is a must for any high school student wanting to get a head start on the college mathematics. This book reads very well, and contains excellent drawings to enhance the comprehension of the topics discussed.
