Schaum's Outline of Basic Mathematics with Applications to Science and Technology, 2ed

Good book

It is not the content I am unhappy with here (although that is quite noticeably dumbed down in newer productions) , it is the quality of the physical aspects of this book. It was apparently produced on a copier with card stock. They did not bolden anything, so it is extremely difficult to read and impossible to lay open on a desk. I had to cut mine apart and reinsert into a binder so I could lay the pages open in order to use it. Boy has Schaum's come down. They used to be my favorite...sad.

In the school systems today, some students are frustrated because their learning style is not the same as the methods the teachers use to instruct. These students may lose confidence in their own ability as a result. The Schaum's Outline assists parents in filling the gap and allowing the student to move forward with confidence. Event though the subject matter is difficult, learning it is still an obtainable goal.

I had an outdated 1979 copy of this. The fact that they have an updated 2013 version says quite a lot. Works well for practice problems and it was exactly what I needed for a basic math review class for Chemists.

I purchased this book to brush up on my math skills and to keep my mind active. It is a perfect match for what I want to accomplish. You are never too old to keep learning. It is an excellent source. You get a lot of information and examples. It is a good sized workbook at a great price. I recommend purchasing this book.

Came in the condition described and was what I was looking for for the class I needed it for. There was nothing wrong with it and there is nothing negative to say.

It's for my physics class. This Book is really basic for math or physics. I thinks the book or the shipment are both quite well.

Good presentation, but after some frustration solving a few problems, I found that the errors are actually in the book and not my analysis.

Uses old terminology and is an old publication

I have used Dummies books in the past but found there was way too much verbiage that just confused things, unlike Schaum's that just cuts to the chase. That is the case here with multiple examples and example problems given each chapter after a brief description of the math methods. And the best part is, that unlike most (all) text books, there are answers given for EACH supplemental problem at the end of each chapter, not every odd or even question. The quality of the book paper is excellent as well and the price is way lower than most comparable texts. Occasionally there are minor errors but I haven't found a text yet that doesn't suffer from the same printing errors so I don't find this a problem. Recommended for anyone looking to give their brains some exercise or build a math foundation prior to moving on to advanced math.

Rien à redire
