Book Reviews of Schaum's Easy Outline: College Algebra

Book Review: ain't no exercises!
Summary: 1 Stars

This is NOT the much more popular Schaum's Outline of College Algebra. This is a smaller version: Schaum's EASY outline. I don't think anybody will get much use out of it.

It's just lists of rules and definitions! There are no exercises! They'll tell you, for example, what the rational root theorem is and give a demonstration, but there are no problems you can work for yourself to get the rule into your blood. And of course there are no answers in the back of the book for self-studiers! Answers for what? There are no exercises!

This reminds me of a Latin grammar I have: nothing but rules and definitions without any practice.

Hard to see who could use this. A professor, assigning it as a supplementary text in a college algebra class?

Well, even for that purpose it'd be a waste of time. A real course in college algebra is going to have to go a lot deeper than this manual does.

Note that Schaum's Outline of College Algebra, 3/e (Schaum's Outline Series) (v. 3), by the same author, DOES have plenty of exercises with answers at the back (and not just the odd-numbered ones).
