 Rating:  - Try again.This book left me with more questions than answers. The word problems in the end of each section went completely without explanation on how to solve them. The story-line was wordy, and any math tips worth reading were few and far between. I got frustrated very early, and bought another book. (The greatest book to learn Algebra is "Practical Algebra - A Self-Teaching Guide". I believe anyone can sail through that book with little struggle.)

What's worse, at least half the exercises at the end of each chapter require far more knowledge than was presented, leaving you shaking your head wondering how to solve them. Half the exercises involve word problems which can be very confusing. What's worse, the answers to those ...

I also didn't mind the fairy tale that developed as the story moved forward; it took a lot of the scare factor out of the material. What frustrated me was that there were concepts that weren't explained very properly or at all. I'm still befuddled as to how to solve for x in an equation. They don't give you a clear-cut or definite way; they only tell you to add/subract on both sides of the equation. And ... Read More
