this covers the basics first and then goes on to of course the harder stuff. It is a good book. I received it soon after ordering and it was a great price for such a "good-looking" used book.

Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R2MLUH1X1KFVA2 This is one of the better textbooks I have
on the subject. One will have to put the
time in but the book does a
good job explaining concepts.
If I may suggest something that
has helped my studies greatly, a little book called
Don't Like to Read, Then Don't, Listen!: How to
Turn Any Type of Text Into Audio Files That Can
Be Read to You!. I know that many students out
there are like me and would rather listen to
material than have to read it themselves. I use
programs like the one that is reading this review
to have my texts read to me. This is a god send
for me. One can get this title on amazon.

Received via UPS in couple of days. Book was in perfect condition. Couldn't believe it was used. Saved lots of money.

If you take the time to read the book it is engaging and sometimes funny. The author explains the math very well using real-world situtations. The application problems are great for bringing the concepts home.

Very much liked the review of the prerequisite math rules needed to make progress with algebra. Good examples, good practice problems.
