CUSTOMER REVIEWS (Average Customer Rating: 3.0 based on 2 reviews)

Keeps what it promises  
A previous reviewer gave this book a bad rating because she/he was not pleased with the preview pages offered at Amazon. Actually the preview pages are ok - it just happens that the author is dedicating the first chapter to brush up the students math. The book holds what the author promises in the preface: "The book is specifically designed to allow students with relatively weak mathematics and science problem solving to quickly gain the needed quantitative reasoning skills as well as confidence in addressing the subjects in physics"
The book is designed to accompany first year college students. Price/Value ratio seems ok - and it blends in with the second part "Beginning Physics II" (which has received good ratings as well).

Can't really tell about this book  
Amazon's preview of the book itself would be more useful if it complemented customer reviews. Yable of Contents always shows only one page when it may consist of two or several pages. The author's Preface and Introduction would tell what the scope and intent of the book would be. One random page, obtained by Surprise Me, shows a delta y over delta x. But is it a calculus-based book? I can't assume it is.
