To say this book helped me is an understatement. It not only helps me in my college studies, but in every day situations. I am purchasing another copy today for my niece, who is experiencing some difficulty in comprehending math. Of course she is labeled with a "Learning Disability". Well after my husband & I helped her with her homework, we realized "she doesn't have a disability"....it is the way the school "explains" math concepts that is making math a mystery to her. When I spoke to her and brought math "down to earth" as this book does....she is catching on quick. I am sending this book to her today, for I know it will help her through-out her life. To the authors I want say....Thank you for making math understandable.

I am a mom who graduated many years ago, who is having to freshen up on my math and algebra skills so I can help my teenage children understand their work in school. This book makes learning algebra for my 16 year old son, who suffers from a Learning Disability, easy to comprehend, while refreshing what I learned many years ago. It takes you through practically every step imaginable to understand the rules, terms and equations of algebra. I never thought learning algebra could be so easy! My son, who has ALWAYS struggled with math, now actually says that algebra is FUN! Just keeping him interested in a subject is challenging enough, but with this book, he actually looks forward to the challenge!

Thanks for making this book available!

After years of thinking that I just couldn't do math, this book did the impossible. It taught me not only how to solve math problems but to understand how I solved them. I actually feel comfortable with math and want to go as far as I can learning it. Instead of being torture it is now an intriguing subject. I made it to Algebra II in high school ten years ago but I never knew what I was doing. I highly recommend this book to anyone who thinks they "can't do math". I think some people just learn differently than it is taught in most public schools. You CAN learn math (if I could, then you can too!).

It's a very good book that is easy to understand.
