In Reply to: Can you all tell me why you like Jacob's Elem. Algebra., or Lial's Algebra, or Teaching Textbook? How about NEM? Foerster's? (sm) posted by karenciavo
I looked at the evaluations of math texts at mathematicallycorrect.com. Foerster's and Dolciani's books both get high marks, but I never hear of anyone using Dolciani's book. Mathematicallycorrect.com doesn't evaluate Jacob's or Lial's books. I would really like to know how they would stack up to the others. I briefly saw Jacob's at a curriculum fair and it looked good, but I didn't have anything to compare it to. I think we'll be done with Lial's BCM by Christmas and I'll need to make a decision. Hope someone can help us out!
