Mathematics for the Green Industry: Essential Calculations for Horticulture and Landscape Professionals

Book was great.. packaging could have been better. Corners were bent but all the important stuff was there. Great Value!

Spot on !!

It appears this textbook went to press before it was thoroughly evaluated for errors. It is shot through with typos, misprints, missing information, wrong numbers used in solutions (making it very difficult to accurately check one's work when reviewing the solutions) and so on - mostly in the practice problems and in the solutions in the back of the book. There also appears to be no standard used for rounding up decimals. The rounding seems arbitrary and completely different for each of the practice problems. These issues were very frustrating to me as a student actually using this text in a college course.At its most basic level, this textbook is a decent introduction to the math skills required to be successful in the horticulture and landscape fields. The subject matter is all very useful, and generally the authors present the information in an easy-to-read style and give examples that help the reader understand the processes. I imagine a second or revised edition that has been thoroughly proofread and had all of the math checked will be much more effective as a text that will actually help students understand the math principles involved.

Great condition!

thanks

Easier to follow than my math teacher, I wish I could get all the time I wasted with him back
