This review is from: Mathematics for the Trades: A Guided Approach (6th Edition) (Paperback)
This is one of my favorite math books to date. It is a wonderful resource to teach from. I hope its use will increase over time, and more like it will be written.

This review is from: Mathematics for the Trades (8th Edition) (Paperback)
This is not a complicated, in depth, advanced algebra book. This book contains the simple, common sense skills that you will need in any job. It has easy-to-follow-lessons and plenty of practice problems.

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.
