5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent and Easy review,
By A Customer
This review is from: Cengage Advantage Books: Essential Algebra (Johnston-Willis Series) (Paperback)
I had a BA and was planning to enter a B.S. program after ten years out of High School. This book was a tremendous help in refreshing my mathematics skills. The material is presented clearly and in very understandable language. There are periodic tests one can take to chart one's progress between chapters, helpful reviews of terminology and appendices with review of some fundamentals you may have forgotten as well as a preview of the sort of math this book would lead into if one continued. The answers to the exercises are worked out in the back of the book (the odd numbered questions are shown at length) so that you can catch mistakes in methodology (and in arithematic). It is simply impossible to not follow the easy phraseology and straight-forward teaching techniques. You almost breeze through the material because it is presented so clearly and in such easy language. The instruction is explicit with a step-by-step analysis of the material and a lengthy explanation of how one goes about solving involved equations. I only wish I had these authors as my math teachers in high school-I'd have remembered without difficulty the math skills I need now.

This review is from: Cengage Advantage Books: Essential Algebra (Johnston-Willis Series) (Paperback)
While in college i worked as a T.A. for a developmental math class that used this book. The class was basically set up so the students could self teach with myself and the professor being there as additional resources, the text really seemed easy for most of the students to work through on their own. which was why when my nephew wanted help with his algebra classes i went out and purchased the text for us to work through together
