I can't speak to the MyMathLab component of this book because my copy doesn't have it, but I can attest to the brilliance of the approach to teaching math. It takes one math concept and follows it from the basic to the advanced. I've never seen this approach in a textbook, but it makes SO much sense, especially for adults.

Other strengths include plenty of practice exercises and very thoroughly explained examples. It works better for individuals than for a class, at least in my experience, but it's been wonderful supplementary material for the math talented in my class of displaced workers.

Another ab fab algebra text for adults is Algebra Survival Guide: a Conversational Guide for the Thoroughly Befuddled

This book is perfect for my pre-algebra class I am taking this summer. The used book is in great shape.

I previously read Basic Math and Pre-Algebra For Dummies (and used the companion workbook) before being forced to buy this book for school. The Dummies book was just as good if not better and I felt like I was reading the exact same material all over again. If you merely want to learn Basic Math and Pre-Algebra for your own gratification then this book isn't a good value. Yes, the content is excellent but so is the content of much less expensive options.
