Book Reviews of Algebra II Workbook For Dummies
Book Review: No frills grind...
Summary: 3 Stars
I'm almost done with the graphing chapter. I have 2 other "Dummies" workbooks (Geometry and Pre-Calc) and they are written in a much more animated style. It seems like the author Mary Jane Sterling did not care enough to really introduce the material in a way that might appeal to beginners, or those who buy "Dummies" books because they are a bit afraid of math. Instead, she dryly cuts into the definitions and examples, with about as much personality as I could get from any textbook. This is intimidating for those who already feel a little lost. The titles of the chapters, however, show some wit, probably to convince her publishers that she was writing a real "for dummies" book. But once you get into the math, she's very dry. Having said that, her syllabus seems quite rigorous and her problem sets are challenging and it seems she covers the important stuff. There's only so much you can put into this sort of book, which is supposed to be a combination review/workbook/lesson plan. The advantage of Dummies books is that they summarize the most important information, so you can get on with more advanced topics. After hitting a bit of a wall with "Pre-Calc for Dummies", I bought Algebra II for Dummies, to review the solving of quadratic inequalities (errors in Pre-Calc book). There are a couple errors in this book also, but it would be hard to make a perfect edition. Real textbooks excel in thoroughness and accuracy. But if you want a quicker, but comprehensive review, these Dummies workbooks are great. But Mary Jane Sterling's writing does not make me feel all that comfortable with the material, I must say. The human touch I get from Mark Ryan and Christopher Burger are missing here.
