This book is easily read by students who need to brush up on their math for business or for academic tests. I have been using the book in my classes for 2 years. The only problem is that the authors have mixed the subjects in such a way that there isn't a direct flow from one topic to the next and some of my students find it difficult to keep up. They seem to forget the previous chapters and don't understand where everything connects. I reccommend this book to anyone who wants to brush up, but not to someone who isn't familiar with the topics.
