I used this book (when it was written by Mary P. Dolciani) in 1973-74 as a junior in high school and loved it. The recent revisions continue the excellence of Dolciani and the series. The theory is sound and the examples are easy to follow. Especially important is the numerous exercises graded in difficulty that help the student master the material. This book actually makes students THINK and does not spoon feed the material.

I can't say enough great things about this text. My school district uses this text for the honors tract (9th/10th grades) but uses another text for the "regular" 11th grade Algebra II sequence. I feel this is unfortunate because all students can benefit from the rigors of this book.

As a teacher of mathematics I have used a number of different algebra texts and evaluated many others. After an extensive search for a text that would meet the needs of students preparing for college-level mathematics, I decided that this book had no equal. The exposition is both clear and rigorous, and the problems are of real mathematical depth without being too difficult for most students. One of the best aspects of the book is the extensive drill on algebra skills included in every section.

Faithful to the highest standards of traditional math, this rigorous and thorough tour of algebra and trigonometry is presented with meticulous clarity. It is an invaluable tool in its own right, but is especially worthwhile in preparation for advancing to upper level math concepts. The sections dedicated to word problems have particularly relevant real world applications, addressing the "When are we ever gonna have to use this?" issue with convincing examples. The organization is intelligent, uncluttered, and methodical. As a resource, this volume represents an investment of substantial educational merit, and uncompromising quality.

Great solution key book, worth the money and saves tons of time and headaches. Makes learning much easier and sometimes actually fun

I needed Algebra 2 text book for my son. The book was in excellent condition as described by seller and the timing was great for delivery. Highly recommended for purchases.

My son needed a copy of the Algebra and Trigonometry Structure and Method Book 2 to keep at home. I ordered from It's-a-Good-Day-Books through Amazon. The used textbook we received was in perfect condition. No rips, tears, no writing on the inside pages and the binding was in great shape. It was priced reasonably and was received earlier than expected. It even came with a hand-written thank you note. Great service, great book, great price and a thank you. What more could you want!
If a future used textbook need arises in the future, I'd order from It's-a-Good-Day-Books again.

Sincerely,

This is a decent Algebra II book. The examples are comprehensive and detailed, but sometimes I couldn't follow with the examples. The easy, medium, and hard problems are all excellent. I would recommend this book to future algebra students.

The textbook came in earlier than expected and was in excellent condition.
