I'm not finished with the text, but I'm learning so well that I KNOW I will have mastered the material. In fact, I just ordered the book which they recommend as a follow-up, "Geometry and Trigonometry for Calculus." They start out with baby...

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)As a university lecturer at three universities, I get plenty of questions about these things.

A big problem...

Kaplan Insider's Book of Business School Lists Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Yes, the premise is good. Unfortunately, I just don't have any trust for the data. For example, they list Babson College as in Maryland, but it is in Boston.
