I love the way this book has you work out problems in the margins as you go through the reading. This makes sure that you understand the work that you've read about, before you go on to the next piece. I also like the fact that every other odd problem is solved step-by-step in the back of the book.

Good Exercises and Examples,follows my childs High School Algebra every step of the way. The only problem is the web site is not working yet, but the book is worth more than it is sold for.

The book is laid out with 1/3 of each page having between 3 or 10 problems for you to solve before you move on in the text. They are arranged along the outer edge of the page, vertically. It's all self guided with the text of the book telling you which of the 'edge problems' to work out before proceeding, usually 2-4 problems.

The answers to ALL of these problems are provided. At the end of the chapters are problems with the odd problem answers given.

I looked at many algebra textbooks but this one is one you'd actually use, primarily because of it's methodical step by step pace.

It's pretty good at starting at the beginning of Algebra but I don't think it takes you too far into Algebra II, but maybe the author has that covered in another book.

This book is perfect. It is very well written, and is ver clear and concise. The examples are very well done: clear, explanatory, and to the point. There are plenty of exercises to help one master the concepts once they have been explained. Overall, this is a very good book. I am very pleased with it.

As a homeschooling parent of a high schooler all I can say in reviewing this product is the following:

THANK YOU, MARGARET LIAL AND COHORTS, FOR EXTENDING AN EXCEPTIONAL PRODUCT!!
