School Books

Came on time and just what I expected. Perfect order and I'm glad I did it.

A good algebra book

This is a fairly decent algebra book. It gives some good examples. I would say you wouldn't be disappointed.

Easy way to learn

I'm using this book for review and like it very much. The presentation is simple and thorough, the examples are clear, and there are plenty of problems to solve (with solutions for odd-numbered problems). It incorporates using a graphing calculator into the instruction, and some problems ask you to use the graphing calculator to solve them.I like the graphing and modeling approach to learning. Somehow it helps provide perspective to see the solutions numerically and/or graphically. I'd recommend this book over many of the others I've seen/used.
