Index.

This is a recommended textbook where I work. I like the fact that it teaches concepts vastly differently from the required textbook that I teach out of....Thus, students who are unable to understand one way may be able to understand after using this text. I also like that students can write and practice problems directly in this book.

By D. Brown

the book explains all the problems. THe answers are right after each set of porblems, not at the end. It is clear.
