Marge Lial (late) was always interested in math; it was her favorite subject in the first grade! Her desire to educate both her students and herself inspired the writing of numerous best-selling textbooks. Marge, who received Bachelor's and Master's degrees from California State University at Sacramento, was most recently affiliated with American River College. An avid reader and traveler, Marge’s travel experiences often find their way into her books as applications, exercise sets, and feature sets. She was particularly interested in archeology. Trips to various digs and ruin sites produced some fascinating problems for her textbooks, involving such topics as the building of Mayan pyramids and the acoustics of ancient ball courts in the Yucatan.
I AM FREEEEEEE. Well, from one class. I just took my first final today and am happy to report that all went well. No more math sounds quite nice. ;)
As for this book...well, it was a math textbook. Nothing much needs to be said about it. *cough* I really liked the teacher for my class, and he offered enough extra credit that I got a really good grade in this class overall. SO YEAH. That's a positive.
I actually enjoyed some of the class...to a degree. I'm not a math person, but algebra can be fun in small quantities. So for that reason, I'm being generous with my rating.
3 stars
(P.S. It's actually kind of depressing that the only books I've read this month are my textbooks. xD)
