5 out of 5 stars The best algebra book ever   July 6, 2004
64 out of 68 found this review helpful

I am a Ph.D student from Sweden that was looking for a book that I could use to brush up om my mathskills. Believe it or not but math was not my favorite subject when I studied because I always found the subject a bit boring and blurry. This book is a splendid book since it deals with the subject in a easy way. This doesn't mean that the author ignores the difficulties of algebra but instead he explains them very well.

There are not a lot of excercises in the book but the explanations of the subject makes this book a best buy.

Excellent book for someone who has either forgotten most of
the salient ideas or just starting their math experience.
The author is very empathic about the perceived "hatred" and
"fear" of math. He disspells these concerns thru humor and
common sense. He gives you confidence that you can do it.

I am studying to be a high school math teacher and have found this book to be very helpful. It assists me a great deal in preparing lesson plans because it offers clear explanations of many algebra topics. This allows me to create innovative lessons for students who are struggling as well as challenging ones for those students who are doing very well.
