"The writing style is straightforward, clear, and concise. Explanations are easy to follow--a student could use this text as self-study. Readability of the chapters is very good - easy to follow from one concept to the next. The reading level is appropriate for my students. The coverage is comprehensive and the organization is very effective. I have used Pickar's text for over 10 years and find the order very effective."
Math can be a lot of fun, just not when you have to do a whole semesters worth in only 2 days. But I enjoyed it none-the-less. At least there are clear rational rules that become intuitive over time with practice.
