new book good buy

the book was new the price was right and it came fast I will buy from this seller again

This book won me a promotion!!

If you need a refresher course on basic math - this is the one for you. I shopped around for a good, clear, easy to understand book to remind me of the basics I learned long, long ago. It was very well written so that I understood the basic concepts for a math test I had to take for my new position. After studying it for a few days before the test, I felt a lot more confident and passed!

This is a great book!

Very well laid out and easy to understand, I refer back to it frequently as I have been preparing for the College entrance exam. First time back to school in 11 years. I may get the companion work book because I am quickly learning that practice certainly makes perfect when it comes to math.

Would not have passed without it!!

Amazing book! I HATED math in high school! When I found myself going to college at 35, the entrance exam with all the algebraic problems was all French to me...I took the Pre-Algebra prep course at the college but found the textbook to be overwhelmingly confusing. This book cured all that. The For Dummies series is one of the best inventions since the wheel and this volume helped me pass Pre-Algebra as well as showing me that math can actually be a better experience than going to the dentist.

So helpful!!

I've been out of high school for almost 14 years and really need a refresher. These "dummies" books are great. The book explains math very well. A great help!
