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
The Jacob's book is much cleaner in its presentation, in my opinion, than Lial's. My daughter said, "Mom, how does anyone see anything on the pages of the Lial's book? It is too confusing to look at." Plus, she liked the cartoons used to illustrate the Jacob's book. She did well with Jacob's and went on to use his Geometry text as well.
