I was probably the worst math student in my Class ( I never used to pass), but today after a long bitter dedicated struggle now i am working as a financial analyst by completing a masters in Financial Engineering. And this is where it all began, with this book and i still remember when i started out i had a lot of fear, just to start out this book.
After I finished this i was ready to move on to algebra, Geometry ,Trignometry & Calculus with Peter Selby.Then I did it all and now i realise it was not me who was a math idiot but it was the teachers who should be shot dead for installing a huge math fear in me and i swore i'll never ever learn anything in the classroom anymore.

I learned at High School that Math was a matter of practice, practice and practice. This book presents a great methodology to develop this rusty skills, and put them to work again. I highly recommend you this book, if you are consistant and determine to work toward all the excercises.

Found this valuable book in a used book store hoping it might be able to help me pass the math section of the CBEST test. It explained things in a way that worked for me. Things I didn't understand before, I understood for the first time. I loved all the practice questions and they way there were "sample" questions with answers that were explained. The pre and post tests were wonderful review. As a result of this book, I went into my exam with so much more confidence (it was the 3rd time I took it!). I won't have my score for a couple of weeks, but I know I did well. I would highly recommend this book. Saved my math life!

I just bought this book to brush up on math skills for my new job. I love the step by step lessons, and all the practice. I really improved when I took the test at the end of the book. I think anyone who needs help with math should get this book!
