Easy to use, even for math phobic people :) November 2, 2008
I'm terribly math-challenged/phobic and have a terrible time with "creative math", but this text has greatly eased my fears of calculating fertilizer amounts, etc. This is easy to read and to follow, using the model problems. Well worth the time invested in reading through from cover to cover.
