Worth every penny...,

This review is from: Algebra and Trigonometry: Graphs and Models (4th Edition) (Alternative Etext Formats) (Hardcover)
I bought this book to compliment the online course I am taking. The book in electronic form, is available with my course but I like the 'hard copy' in my hands. This is an excellent book. The chapters are well organized. Each example or concept given is clear, concise and easy to follow. There are more than enough practice problems to do and they are just like the ones on the test; so you feel well prepared. In fact my tutor admired this book so much I have promised it to him when the semester is over.

The book was needed for a class so I didn't just chose this one, but it is very good for someone who hasen't done algebra or higher math in a while. I wish I has the answer or solution book as well bc only the odd answers are in the back to check work. Over all great book and seller was awesome!
