I'm 38 and am a home schooler and to get back into math mode, I chose this book. I did every odd problem and some of the systhesis problems. You will learn the material if you take the time. I spent around 14 or 15 months to get through the book. The program is excersises and review. Constant review is huge plus. I recommend you get the solutions manual from addison wesley. I've just started Marv's et.al.. Precalculus book and then will go onto calculus. I'm enjoying the math. Much more then in high school.

My son and I sit down and learn together. He says "get your book" and lets do math. The key to his desire to do math is because he see's his dad doing it.

I've seen many other books and this tops them all.

This book is not all you get. The book itself is great. But the additional FREE helps which come with the book assure that even the most inept math student can learn algebra. These helps consist of, but are not limited to:1) free tutoring via phone,email,& fax; 2)free practice problems via internet website. Other supplemental materials consist of: Videotapes, Tutorial Software, and a solutions manual. These are all available for the student. I haven't even mentioned the benefits that a classroom teacher has through the Instructor Supplements. These consist of a Test Bank/Instructor's Guide, extra practice problems, mtls for transparencies, video tape index, and several tools for the computer users: test generator, test grader,on-line course management and testing. In other words, this is a great resource for teachers also. I am in the processing of trying to purchase it for my school.

I have tutored math for over 20 years and Bittenger's book is one of the best I have ever seen for taking pre-algebra students from the basics to the complex. His examples are clearly laid out, easy to follow, and they lay a solid foundation for higher math learning. This book's concepts will definitely help high school students prepare for the SATs.

the instructors edition has all the answers..which was useful for last minute homework and the price i paid online was the price the college was selling the used copy for. what a great deal

This is a used book in great condition. I first ordered it and received the wrong book, so had to go back and reorder the book again, but finally received the correct book. I am very happy with the price and condition of the book. I will order more college books from Amazon rather than spend a ton of money at the book store on campus. Even my college instructor recommended the class go on-line to Amazon and order used books because they were so much cheaper and usually in good condition.

This book was in Excellent Condition! All the extra's were intact and still sealed, such as the video learning cd's and the math lab code!!!
I would definitely buy from this person again!

This book is great for those that are futuring their education. This book gave several examples and helped me with my practice tests and quizzes. I received the book as implemented.

The book arrived in a timely manner with absolutely no damage. Looked completely unused.

I needed this book for my math class in college, and I am so happy to pay a small amount of the price the college store was asking for- I saved so much money going on Amazon and buying something worthwhile, thank you Amazon and seller for that.
