5.0 out of 5 stars Great Explanations, July 24, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Schaum's Outline of Intermediate Algebra (Paperback)

As a college math instructor, I bought this book to see if would be useful for students who struggle with math. I was completely impressed with the layout of this study guide! The Intermediate Algebra text by Schaum's explains every concept clearly and carefully, from basic solving of linear equations to graphing of lines and simplifying rational expressions. Many texts at this level do not bother to explain all the little things as thoroughly as this one does, but that is EXACTLY what a struggling student needs to see. It also provides several worked-out examples and practice problems in every section. If you are having trouble with Intermediate Algebra, this may be all the "tutoring" you'll need!

This book was a great study guide to use when I took Intermediate Algebra last term. I used it a lot with homework assignments because it broke down problems into simpler terms. If you are looking for a good stusy guide, I reccommend this one.

This review is from: Schaum's Outline of Intermediate Algebra (Paperback)

I'm not a big fan of Algebra, so I was panicking when I found out I had to take it as a prerequisite in college. The Schaum's book is one of our texts. So far, I'm maintaining a high "A" average in the class, and I owe much of it to this book. The explanations are clear, nothing is assumed as far as prior math knowledge yet it is not "dumbed down". The book includes answers to all of the problems. There are two other books I'd recommend for those needing a good Algebra text, besides this one. One is Arithmetic and Algebra Again by Brita Immergut, Jean Burr Smith (ironically a Schaum's Paperback) and Forgotten Algebra by Barbara Lee Bleau. I have all three and they have helped me to finally grasp this frustrating subject.
