5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Book for HS Students, March 26, 2007

By	Amy Lee - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I am a mother with a son in 9th grade and a daughter who is preparing to take the SATs this year. I am so glad I found this book - it has been an excellent tool for both of them. The examples are very clear and there are numerous practice problems which all tie in very well with each concept. Both my son and daughter have been able to build solid understanding of Algebra just going through the book by themselves at home, sometimes studying together. I highly recommend this book for any parent who is concerned about their child not having a good fundamentals of Algebra. This book will certainly give them that.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best book for learning Algebra, April 10, 2007

By	Welles Wallin "Welles" (USA) - See all my reviews

I bought this book for my [...]son, who is homeschooled. It has been the best textbook for self-learning we have ever encountered---on any subject, bar none.

Mr. Yang has done a marvelous job of breaking down concepts, illustrating them with clear instruction and examples, and struturing the exercises so that students get a sense that they are truly building their math skills, step by step. And they are. I see this as the beginning of my son's journey into higher and higher math.

In other words, using this book to learn algebra has been, among other great things, fun.

I can definitely recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn or bone up on Algebra. It is wonderful for homeschooling.

I intend to buy several other books authored by Mr. Yang. His passion for teaching, not to mention his skill at it, really comes across. Thank you, Mr. Yang.

5.0 out of 5 stars Most excellent book for my middle school boy, June 26, 2007

By	James yi "jyi" (Diamond Bar, CA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Each chapter starts with very helpful concise summary with good examples and are followed by many good exercises. This book is much better than other books. This is much better than many of school math books which are very thick and lengthy, but may not be really helpful.
