Will the Struggling Mathematics Students Read the Book? Highly Doubtful. Mr. Math Expert Read: 2/14Rate: 5/52/14: I agree with just about everything that's been written in How to Succeed in College Mathematics. Moreover, I am surprised that all I know about the road to success in any math course, regardless at what level, have been put down in writing in a single book. It's very prolix and thorough. Probably the one suggestion I have for the book is to excise the math examples and problems out of the book and just stick with the pointers. I have worked as an educator in the middle school, high school, a
Although written for an American audience, a Canadian student will find much that is useful. --CMS Notes(Newsletter of the Canadian Mathematical Society (by Ed Barbeau, Ph.D., University of Toronto, Ontario)Many liberal arts students fear the dreaded subject known as mathematics. It can also find a place on the bookshelves of advisors, undergraduate reading rooms and libraries. With advice about absorbing all the knowledge one can in these classes, fighting off anxiety, and just plain dealing better with math classes, it s a complete and comprehensive guide that is ideal for the non-specialist general reader wanting to improve his or her ability and understanding of mathematics. It can also find a place on the bookshelves of advisors, undergraduate reading rooms and libraries. --CMS Notes(Newsletter of the Canadian Mathematical Society (by Ed Barbea
Support for the relevance of the learning and study issues discussed includes: remarks from successful college mathematics students on what worked for them in their college mathematics courses, and from unsuccessful college mathematics students on what did not work for them; statements by college mathematics students which came from their free responses to questions on forms used to evaluate their instructors and courses; suggestions from experienced college mathematics instructors on issues they believe need to be addressed; findings of educational research; position papers of the American Mathematical Association and the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics; and the formal academic training, scholarship, and extensive college teaching experience of the author in mathematics and mathematics education. It can generally be described as a book on learning how to learn. There is no book in existence today that addresses so comprehensively, authoritatively, and authentically the issues students face in college mathematics. Students find out how to: improve as problem solvers, manage assignments, determine if they have course prerequisites, w
