Content is fine. Binding is not.The book is falling apart.

good as a companion only,
By A Customer
This review is from: Geometry and Trigonometry for Calculus (Paperback)
If you want to test your knowledge of geometry and trig after reading another text book, this is good. However, this is not a standalone book. It offers problems and answers, but very little in examples and explanations of why.Unless you want a refresher, I'd go somwhere else, maybe a dummies or idiots guide instead.

There aren't enough exercises..,
By JC "padre_catez" (Koshigaya, Saitama Japan) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Geometry and Trigonometry for Calculus (Paperback)
The best and most enjoyable way to learn math is through practice, and although Peter H. Selby articulately explains the concepts presented in this book, there just aren't enough exercises for you to "teach yourself" the subject. A given section on plane geometry will give you about 15 abstract principles followed by 5 easy practice exercises. I have learned from this book, but in order to do so, I've had to make flashcards and do lots and lots of rereading to help me memorize the vocabulary and rules. This book would be okay for someone who just needs a quick refresher, but if you really want to learn the material, I would suggest buying separate 350-400 page books for each subject.
