When you discuss a book called Basic College Mathematics, the first question that comes to mind is the difficulty level. How advanced is the book in what it teaches? Sadly, the book is far too under-leveled for me.

The book opens with remedial math. It talks about place value, how a number means something different depending on where it is in the number, and other simple topics. So if we have a number like 54,321, the number 4 indicates the thousands place, so it means four thousand are in the number. The full number is fifty-four thousand, three hundred and twenty-one.

Basic College Mathematics doesn't go too far out of its comfort zone. It discusses fractions, a little bit of probability, geometry, and algebra. Although the book is disappointing, I didn't buy it. My library had a copy on hand, and I took it out. The book isn't useless, but I didn't gain anything from it.

Thanks for reading my review, and see you next time.

This really helped me brush up on my basic math skills which were poorly hurting 7 years out of college.
