Customer Reviews

Good book but condition is horrible and was a waste of money.

Purchased this book in "Good" condition for my son. Received book and the entire book is heavily written on, on nearly every single page. This is a math learning book and all problems in the book are also written in and answered. This should have been rated as poor condition.

Brush up on math - successfully

I bought this book because my job search requires me to take civil service exams again and again for various jobs. The exams are full of mathematics (even if the job has nothing to do with that subject). I needed a math refresher course in the worst way when I realized that I'd forgotten my long division and multiplication, the more difficult stretches of the multiplication table, percentages, and anything to do with fractions. This book teaches you these things (and much more) in a very nice, courteous, non-intimidating, non-condescending manner. I really appreciate it. I don't want to become a mathematician. I just want to recall enough to get by. Thank goodness this book helps you do that. I definitely recommend it. I bought it together with a similar refresher math book and found out that this one is the only one you really need.

This is all the math I'll ever need for a while!

This a beautiful resource book with easy to understand lessons, funny stories, and no unneccesary math terms! This book has taught me long division, long multiplication, interest rates, and tutored me a bit in finding the area of circles! I keep this book handy during class to read in my spare time so I can excell in my mathematics skills. This book is great for going ahead, turoring, and for adults who need to brush up on math!

Easy Math Guide

This book is great for learing new math skills and reviewing old ones. It is very easy to understand and rather funny too.

Anyone can learn math with this step-by-step book!

I needed to pass a math portion of a job placement test, and had not been to school in 20 years! I took this book and in one week learned all the math needed to pass the test. Very easy to understand, and you can go at your own pace. Funny too!
