[William Loo · Rating 5 out of 5]

Good refresher book for most people.

Suitable for most people who needs refresher. Recommended for adults who has not applied the principles for a long time.

A very good book to get started with Math.

[Ace Defective · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great book, very comprehensive coverage of each topic. Exercises occasionally provide incorrect answers, and accessing the cumulative review results is tedious. Even if you find them, they are restricted to "verified instructors", which is disappointing for those (re)learning math independently. This could be prevented by including an actual link that leads directly to the relevant site and granting people access to these answers. Additionally, solutions to some of the additional exercises seem missing, specifically the odd-numbered ones, so half of them lack solutions. That being said, the book is open-source, and in my opinion its overall quality more than makes up for these occasional flaws.
