 A huge help! October 6, 2009

I am returning to college after 15 years and I was very rusty on my algebra! This was an excellent tool to help me get refreshed and avoid college prep courses!
Fun and Easy to Understand Algebra August 6, 2009

I haven't quite finished working through the book, but I can say right now this is the best workbook I've ever encountered.
What makes it especially great for me are several things. First, the examples and instruction are easy to follow. Second, there are plenty of practice problems to really get your feet wet. Third, the answers are very clear with their easy, logical step by step solutions. I also like the interjected humor spotted throughout the book. It just goes to show math is not that scary. Math is like climbing a ladder, you have to be secure on each step as you climb up. The view from the top is confidence.

I loved this Algebra for Dummies. It has been a long time since I have done Algebra and this is a step by step workbook for me to see what I remember and what I don't! I love the answers in the back that give step by step insructions incase you did it wrong. I would recommend this to all Algebra students.
 Overall pretty good with a few suggestions March 23, 2009

After being away from college for many years i will soon be heading back to take some math classes. I thought I would get a head start before my classes started by reviewing Algebra with this workbook. I've found it a worthwhile reference and book to practice with. The key to really understanding Algebra is being able to practice with as many problems as you can until you get it right. It's alot like learning to play the piano, from my experience.
Anyway, with that in mind, here are some areas of improvement that I would like to see in this book:
(1)The graphs are so tiny. It's very hard to draw on them. Bigger graphs would sure be helpful.
(2)More problems to solve would be a big help. The book says that it comes with 100's of problems to solve which is true. The problem is though, that some concepts it will review and then give you only one or two problems to practice on. If you get those two wrong, you will feel like you really haven't learned the concept yet.
(3)More detail on the Working with Inequalities Chapter - (Chapter 16) I still don't feel like I have a grasp of that chapter after spending many hours trying to understand it.
(4)More details on Chapter 21- Getting to the Point With Graphing. The problems in this chapter give no clear explanation as to how the results came about like in the other chapters.
Other than that it's a good book and worth a purchase.
