This review is from: Algebra and Trigonometry, 5th Edition (Hardcover)

I used this book for a Algebra II class I took over the summer at a college. Though I'm a high school student, I understood this book. The authors gave good examples for each type of problem for each section. There are 100 plus review questions for each section. The answers to every single odd numbered question in the back of the book.
Diagrams included are extremely helpful. Definitions and important theorems stand out because they are placed in blue boxes. My only complaints are that some examples don't exactly walk through the entire problem and that the wording of some definitions are verbose.

Looking for a review for algebra and trig. It is OK, nothing special. Should have done some more research. It is a good basic book.

This was an awesome deal for $20. I bought this book because I used to be in an Honors class in HighSchool, but was removed from the class and replaced by this chick (thanks Ms Kiyomoura). A year later, I got placed in to pre-calculus and never learned trigonometry. Now I'm taking Engineering Physics 185 and this book is doing the drills from this book is AWESOME.
