[quote=Anonymous][quote]Textbooks are inefficient and expensive, especially when compared to online resources.[/quote] I understand that, but math is a bit different from a class like science or history (where changes occur and the book needs updating). A textbook gives people a compact "go to" resource that doesn't require internet service and where you can page back to previous lessons quickly. Online resources are scattered and can actually take more time to access. The textbook allows people to "see" the direction of the curriculum quickly and efficiently. I don't get the "inefficient" comment. I think that online textbooks are not "free". [/quote]
