This review is from: Mathematics for the Trades (8th Edition) (Paperback)
Actually, I was referring to the 7th edition, but I have no doubt that the 8th edition is superb as well. This series of books breaks down problems in an easy to understand format. Includes pre-algebra, algebra, quadratic equations, trig, and 3D geometry. For someone that had never taken algebra before, I managed a 4.0 GPA with this book.
