Ten chapters provide step-by-step instructions and simplify concepts by utilizing illustrated sample problems as well as comprehensive drills at the end of each lecture. Drill questions are reviewed and correct answers are discussed and explained. The accompanying book reviews each lecture and drill. This series will appeal to auditory and visual learns.
