Reviews1. Design makes it easy for students to learn2. Examples and homework problems are of an appropriate level, and help the student to effectively practice the concepts. 3. Each section is a manageable amount of material for one or two class days., It's mostly easy to read and well written. I can refer my students to the text and the worked examples to help them with specific problem types. The problem sets are good, I can find plenty of practice for the types of problems I want my students to be able to do on the test., I like how the examples are referenced in the Guided Practice problems. The self-checks and teacher examples are helpful. The chapter reviews are set-up nicely. The addition of the medical applications to the conversion sections is a great addition.
