I was very impressed with how fast the book arrived. It also arrived in great condition. I would definately consider doing business with this vendor again.
 Book needs more explanations and less fluff June 4, 2005

Book needs more explanations on problems and less "Study habit reminders" and other fluffy stuff that I just skip over. What student has time to read the "extra optional stuff"?
In my humble opinion, this book doesn't explain problems well.
It doesn't explain WHY. It assumes you know WHY problems are solved in certain ways.
For example, on page 110, she throws a property at you:
"If A is a positive number, then | X | < a is equivalent to -a < X < a."
It would really help me understand this property if I knew WHY| X | < a is equivalent to -a < X < a.
The answer book should explain more also - especially for problems that are different from the examples.
I do like the idea of concept checks though.

This book covers many problems but lacks descriptive solutions. I could not get a good concept of how to solve the problems because most of the solutions were broken into several sections. This book does give some of the answers but again it does lack descriptive solutions.
I can't wait to get this book! September 17, 2003

In my pre-algebra I and II classes, we used Martin-Gay's books. They were wonderful! They're easy to understand and follow with plenty of exercises. I was looking forward to using her books for Intermediate Algebra. I was extremely disappointed to find that the college switched to a different book...one that isn't helpful at all. I'm planning on using Martin-Gay's book along side our college textbook we now have. Hopefully, the lightbulb will be going on much quicker!

This book won't let you get stuck, it explains all concepts clearly. It offers a good beginning algebra review, and gives you a thorough dose of the tougher stuff.
