5.0 out of 5 stars A Good Descriptive Math Book, August 7, 2007

By	Miss Welling "TruthNeverLies" - See all my reviews

I bought This book for a Math Class, I highly disagree with the Previous reviewer, Math is an important subject, (how else could this other person know how much they spent on there credit card each month?) If you don't know math, then you are at a disadvantage to everyone else. Math Is Not dead, like latin, It is just as alive as American English. It is just not understood, Please let me tell you I am no math Major, I am a dislexic who has worked hard to over come my mental mix-ups. So in regards to this particular Math book? It is very detailed and informative, So I am very pleased with it.

2.0 out of 5 stars Too many errors, need to break down things more, June 6, 2009

By	Michael Pascual - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I've gone back to college after a 15 year break from school. I bought this book to get me back up to speed on some the algebra I had forgot. Overall the book has all the information that you will need. After going through the book I quickly started remembering some of the thing I had forgotten. After that getting through the book was a breeze. But looking at it from the prospective of someone trying to learn algebra for the first time this book could be confusing. It doesn't break down the problems enough, makes to many assumptions on what you already know or should know, and finally there were a lot of errors in the practice/quiz area of the book. Probably better books out there
