    Comprehensiveness rating: 4

    It seems to cover all topics of Precalculus and also covers some preview of Calculus. However, the text does not cover review of Algebra. If it also covers a little bit of reviews such as basic factoring and other topics from Algebra, then it would be better.

    Content Accuracy rating: 5

    I have not found any error/mistake except one minor one. On p.386, Example #11 contains an error in the solution. I am guessing that the author originally intended to have an example with two minuses but included typos.

    Relevance/Longevity rating: 5

    Due to the nature of the topic, I cannot consider any such issues.

    Clarity rating: 5

    Most of parts are very clearly explained (including a lot of graphs for visualization of the concepts).

    Consistency rating: 5

    Yes.

    Modularity rating: 3

    Due to the nature of the topic, I do not think this question is relevant to this textbook (most of the concepts must be build up based on other concepts).

    Organization/Structure/Flow rating: 5

    Yes.

    Interface rating: 5

    I have not found any interface issues yet.

    Grammatical Errors rating: 5

    I have not found any grammatical error yet.

    Cultural Relevance rating: 3

    I have not found any parts that are culturally insensitive or offensive in any way.

    Comments

    The textbooks is well organized and written. I do not expect any problem to use this textbook as the main textbook of my Precalculus class.
