5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent refresher for College Algebra., September 16, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Cliffsquickreview Algebra 1 (Cliff's Quick Review) (Paperback)

The book is an excellent review of the subject for those who need to brush up on the subject after many years away from formal mathematics. Provides a down and dirty guide to entry level college algebra with emphasis on process. Problem solving rather than jargon takes precedence. Provides many useful rules that were never taught in school. I find myself referring to it frequently in higher level college math courses.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book for brushing up, May 4, 2001

By	Kitsuno (Honolulu, United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Cliffsquickreview Algebra 1 (Cliff's Quick Review) (Paperback)

This book is an excellent overview for people who may not have had any algebra for a long time, it is clear, and has very good examples and explanations. Unlike many 'learn algebra' type books, this one shows you exactly how to do the problems from start to finish. I believe you could actually teach yourself an entire semester of algebra on your own with only this book as a teacher. I highly reccomend it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Transition!, September 18, 2000

By	Bennett Russell (Florida) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Cliffsquickreview Algebra 1 (Cliff's Quick Review) (Paperback)

I got this book recently because I needed a simple small "transition" book to review all the Algebra I had lost from taking Geometry. Well... I really like this book. It is very useful and I hope to be able to easily integrate it with the rest of all my studying materials. I really like how it has such an easy interface and is small. (to fit in small backpack pockets) For these first months of Algebra II, you guys that are too dumb to remember you basic algebra (like me), get this book. It is a great tool for reviewing even the most important sections in Algebra. Thanks Cliff Notes... you allow people to slack at all times of the year. :)
