Customer Reviews

Even with errors in the solutions, good for what it does...

If you look at my review history, you might ask: why would I be working on basic algebra? Well, I need to practice the basic manipulations in order to do well on the GRE's which I plan to take, as well as brush up on the basics before I take up advanced calculus, probability, statistics, etc. I noticed I made many idiotic errors when doing the problems in this book. There are a lot of outlines for algebra, but this was what I wanted--a brief outline of the manipulations, with lots of practice. I now know where I'm making my errors. Factoring was my particular weak spot. But with the explanations here, it makes much more sense. But how can I give this 4 stars, even though some say the solutions have erros? It is true, some solutions do have printing errors in them (I'd say maybe 5% of all problems). But the explanation of the basic manipulations is better than I've seen in other books. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND a visit to the free site www.algebrahelp.com, if you think some of the solutions in the book are wrong. I wish this site was around when I was learning this stuff--the calculators are wonderful, and cover every topic in this book. This book, combined with the website above, should help you, or your child, master the essential skills in algebra.
