The average rating for Precalculus with MathZone based on 2 reviews is 4.5 stars.

Review # 1 was written on 2016-12-01 00:00:00 Tom Cuningham I didn't really "read" this book. I did thousands of the problems in it for homework, quizzes, and tests in conjunction with the ALEKS assessment and learning platform. The reason for the 5 star rating is because I was able to glean many mathematical techniques and acquired enough knowledge to form a good starting foundation for Calculus and other higher level college math courses.

Review # 2 was written on 2014-09-02 00:00:00 Alex Saiz 5/28/2015: So far: A very rigorous text! However, I would refer to other sources (lecture videos, notes, etc.) to grasp a better initial understanding on measure theory itself, and a rather reasonable comparison of Riemann vs. Lebesgue integrals. Note: MITOpenCourseWare unfortunately doesn't have the lecture videos available, but mathematicalmonk on youtube gives an understandable introduction to measure theory in his Probability Primer's series. 12/8/2015: We went through THE WHOLE BOOK in our measure theory class. I will not comment on how the professor taught the class, but I would have been a lot more pleased if there were more examples and some sort of solution manual/hints for problems in this book. In general, I think having some sort of verification for one's solutions for any problem is essential to her learning process.
