The explanations for the topics and answers are not very clear.

É um ótimo guia para a matemática básica. Li de capa a capa durante a preparação para vestibulares e não me arrependo, embora esse não seja o foco dele. O livro é bem completo, especialmente em trigonometria, não deixando faltar explicações. Só criticaria o excesso de exercícios e problemas fúteis; muitas seções apresentam quase uma centena exercícios improdutivos de fixação.
