1.0 out of 5 stars REALLY SUCKS!!!
i mean, for real this books sucks. thanks to this book latin american youth never learns math in a way in which they dind real uses and applications to real life. algerbra books used in the US are far better, some of them are not as others but at least all of them try to teach you applications. this book is designed to make students fear math. (math major)

Para empezar hablare de la famosa y enigmatica portada de este libro.El Arabe que aperece con el turbante rojo en la cabeza y mirada desafiante NO ES BALDOR!!!!!!!es AL-JUARISMI un matematico Arabe (el inventor del ALGEBRA!!!),su nombre figura en la misma portada en la esquina derecha de abajo y adentro en la contraportada da mas detalles, donde dice NUESTRA PORTADA. El autor de este libro se llama AURELIO BALDOR y es, (o era por que murio en 1978) de nacionalidad Cubana.Habiendo aclarado este malentendido ancestral pasemos a describir esta magnifica obra. Este famoso libro es el mas temido y a la vez el mas facinante para todos los estudiantes tanto de sur america,centro america, el caribe y norteamerica.Fue escrito en idioma español y es, como dije antes, el mejor libro de Algebra basica probablemente que se haya escrito jamas. Esta perfectamente ilustrado ,incluye todas las respuestas a los problemas en la parte trasera,va narrando en cada capitulo la fasinante historia de las matematicas y todo esta explicado en un lenguaje llano para que lo entienda todo el mundo.Pero cuidado!!! este libro no es para empezar desde cero en las matematicas, para estudiarlo hay que tener una muy buena!! base de aritmetica primero, sino no entenderan nada .Recomiendo para lograr esto, el libro de aritmetica del mismo BALDOR, el cual tiene menor fama que este de algebra pero que tambien es excelente, o el titulado MATEMATICA DESTREZAS BASICAS de la casa MCGRAW HILL.Todos estos libros requieren de tiempo , dedicacion y mucha paciencia y perseverancia asi como tambien de una actitud abierta hacia las matematicas para poder sacar algun provecho de ellos. Les aconsejo tener una buena base primero pero si ya la tienen esta Algebra de BALDOR les hara recordar lo que ya saben.Procuren conseguir una edicion de calidad de este libro, como la que esta aqui disponible en amazon.Aqui en mi pais(Republica Dominicana) aparecen muchas ediciones de pesima calidad, mal impresas y hasta les falta informacion.

5.0 out of 5 stars Algebra de Baldor, February 15, 2000
By A Customer
This is THE high school Algebra course par excellence throughout Latin America. Every high school kid remembers this textbook. It is a no-nonsense book with plenty of exercises, and best of all, all the solutions at the end of the book!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Teaching/Learning Tool for Elementary Algebra, January 12, 2001
By 
"raulinct" (Stamford, CT United States) - See all my reviews
This book has been used by many generations in the Latin American countries, for one very good reason: It does not assume that the student already knows algebra. This book takes the student step by step, and then it challenges him or her to test what's been learned. I tried many different authors, but in my opinion this is by far the best way of learning Algebra.

5.0 out of 5 stars I studied with Dr. Baldor, September 8, 2006
By 
Steven Vornov (Norfolk, VA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I was a student at Stevens Academy (Hoboken, NJ) in the late 1960s. Dr. J. Aurelio Baldor, a Cuban exile, taught me Algebra with examples from his book. He was the best math teacher I've ever had. As another reviewer said, Dr. Baldor knew how to spoon feed the concepts to even the mathematically disadvantaged.

Ahhh, the good old days! He smoked and sipped strong coffee as we labored on the problems.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best algebra book ever!, September 8, 2006
By 
Alejandro Rios (La Chorrera, Panama) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Algebra (Spanish Edition) (Hardcover)
I used this wonderful book during my high school studies and I learned from it all the algebra I know. It is very well written, with good examples and very interesting exercises. I didn't have any problems with my college studies (I studied Electrical-Mechanical Engineering) because this book gave me the background I needed to rock in college.

5.0 out of 5 stars Básico para el desarrollo de la habilidades matemáticas, August 12, 2000
Recuerdo que cuando era un niño en la escuela primaria mi padre y mi madre se dedicaban a enseñarme como resolver los problemas del artimética, luego pasaron al algebra y finalmente en el liceo estudie la geometria plana y del espacio, en todos los caso me apoye con los libros de Aurelio Baldor, son obras excepcionales, muy claras en sus planteamientos, recuerdo más especificamente el de algebra ya que ha pasado de generación en generación desde 1952 en mi familia, originalmente era de mi padre, luego de mi madre y de mis tios/as y así paso a mi y mi hermano, ahora es de mis dos primas y subsecuentemente ese mismo libro servira a las siguientes generacionaes de mis familia.

El aspecto más resaltante de estos libros es que estan escritos en un lenguaje tal que orientan al lector, le dan las herramientas para abordar temas cada vez más complejos, de hecho en la universidad recordaba, más que recordar, sabia que entendia y que en el fondo se debia a la base en artimetica, algebra y geometria. Recientemente he leido libros de E. Maor y W. Duham e inmediatamente recorde los planteamientos básicos de los libros de Baldor.

5.0 out of 5 stars THE BEST, May 15, 2000
By 
Bertha L. Morris (Florida, Estados Unidos) - See all my reviews
Mi ALGEBRA BALDOR es la ediciom 1963. Fue primero de mi hermana, luego mi hermano, luego mia, luego mi hermana mas pequena y de alli ha saltado a los vecinos y a mis sobrinos.

Simplemente me recuerda los mejores anos de mi vida especialmente con el aprendizaje del ALGEBRA, mi profesor fue exelente, todo era como un juego y al final obteniamos una respuesta acertada (siempre que aplicaramos las formulas y procedimientos correctos). En mi pais COLOMBIA, se ha utilizado por generaciones este libro como texto de ensenanza, es super-detallado y super-facil, todo se comprende mejor. En todos los casos el libro presenta: un nombre al procedimiento, una explicacion o significado, y de alli un ejercicio paso a paso. Ademas en su respaldo contiene las respuestas correctas a cada uno de los ejercicios que incluye.

Este libro en conjunto con la MATEMATICA BALDOR es todo lo que se necesita en la secundaria para realmente aprender y pasar luego a la TRIGONOMETRIA (tambien de BALDOR)

MI MATEMATICA y Mi ALGEBRA han viajado conmigo (ademas de un monton de libros) ya que para mi son un tesoro; ya he ayudado a una chica quien sobrepaso el desagrado del algebra porque no la entendia, ha un estado de satisfacion y poder porque comprendia los procesos. No importa el ididoma, los numeros son universales.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Algebra Book Written in Spanish, October 23, 2005
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I used this book when I was in High School and it has a ton of exercises which help you to build a strong algebra foundation for years to come.

I bought the book this year to prepare for my GRE and the exercises have helped me enormously in remembering the concepts.

The explanations are also detailed and written with clarity and in a very understandable manner.

5.0 out of 5 stars A constant on time and precission, September 21, 2002
I really remember having to go through math and trigonometry under tutors that kept on pounding on your head that math was a neccesary nuisance, until I came across this remarkable book, I can tell you that it so clear and impressive that anyone, with or without mathematical background will be able to understand it. Remember that math is the universal language and for this book the piece by piece attack on the theme is more than enough to understand it, spanish is advisable though not essential, this book teaches you to love math and makes it fun, open and easy, it can be applied on your everyday life.

It takes you by the hand step by step from two variable equations to full scale three dimensional matrix series, giving it sense to a whole new world of mathematical thinking, right now I am going through a proccess to start my Masters by Research on Australia (On Biomedical Sciences), and to begin with I needed to refresh my memory on some algebra and trigonometry, I took some steps towards books like the Tippler and Shaums, and though they claim the easiness of use of its contents, to my surprise more that 80% percent of my answers were coming from the Baldor series.

Sometimes is easy to under estimate a book that comes from a neighboring country that is say "underdeveloped" but I think it is about high time that we might start to share some common knowledge that would enrich our mutual knowledege. By now I haven't found any book that comes closer to the comprehention that this book opens to the novele and experienced mathematician, I sincerely recomend this text to anyone that might be submerged into mathematic themes from shallow to deep, belive me it will not disappoint anyone, or at least it hasn't done so, I know more than a 100 people between students and serious proffessionals and investigators that have used it and are still using it. It has run water under the bridge since I used it and it is still brilliant and robust.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best!, March 8, 2007

This review is from: Algebra (Spanish Edition) (Hardcover)
This the best algebra book that I've seen. Both my wife and I used it when we were in high school years ago, and now we're using it to complement the teachings in our kids schools. My children understand the concepts of algebra much better from this book than from their school textbook.

The limitation is that it's written in Spanish, so you have to be able to read basic Spanish to get the most of it. Being a math book, it doesn't require advanced reading, since algebra is based in lots of symbols.
