Customer Reviews

Good problems, but sexist
Although this book contains many useful examples and good practice problems, I found myself repeatedly irritated by language that seemed to aim the book at a male reader. In examples, "a class contains n boys and r girls" nearly always had n>r. One problem describes a college where 25% of the boys and only 10% of the girls take math classes. For a book used in a mathematics course, I consider this irresponsible because it reinforces the feelings of isolation that many young women studying math already experience. Another problem is about a woman who has eleven friends and is trying to plan a dinner party. Problems about men are usually about the cards they are dealt or the problems on a test they are taking. In short, the default is that the character in a problem is male, unless the problem has been phrased in a way that emphasizes activities that society stereotypes as feminine.
