What do you think about a math book with only examples ?

Problem with schoolbooks often is their need to cut things short. It is the teacher's task to give additional detail, to provide several examples etc. So altogether, I think teachers would love your book. If you aim at composing one for students, you should make sure you go along the lines of self-directed learning. You definitely need to provide not ONLY examples, but (if you aim at self-directed learning): 1. an introduction into the phenomenon (maybe link it to "the real world" by pointing to a situation in which whoever "needs" this kind of calculating...?) 2. a proper, concise explanation of the phenomenon 3. a handful of examples to illustrate the point (step-by-step solution provided) 4. a handful of exercises for students to give it a try themselves 5. at the very end of your book, an appendix providing solutions to all exercises for students to check their answers. Even if you think of composing your book as a sort of "help book" to be used alongside the regular textbook - I'd rather not. It is always good to have two sources next to each other - if you don't understand the explanation given in book A, you read the one in book B, and taking both into consideration, you figure it out. Providing only examples is something I (as a former student) would not have been interested in. Did you think about a teacher book AND a student book? Two different ones? The student one composed the way I described it above, the teacher one simply giving a chapter headline and providing ONLY examples for use in class? Oh, and in exams (!)... you'd probably get an extra thumbs-up from teachers who run out of ideas which tasks to set students in algebra exams. ;)

Yes, yes, yes !!! i cannot say it enough. i am a college student who has a terrible time in math. i have had to re-take a required Algebra class four times, while I average a 3.8 GPA in the rest of my classes. i finally found a professor who followed this format and i ended up with an A.
