Book Reviews of Algebra Workbook For Dummies
Book Review: Overall pretty good with a few suggestions
Summary: 4 Stars
After being away from college for many years i will soon be heading back to take some math classes. I thought I would get a head start before my classes started by reviewing Algebra with this workbook. I've found it a worthwhile reference and book to practice with. The key to really understanding Algebra is being able to practice with as many problems as you can until you get it right. It's alot like learning to play the piano, from my experience.
Anyway, with that in mind, here are some areas of improvement that I would like to see in this book:
(1)The graphs are so tiny. It's very hard to draw on them. Bigger graphs would sure be helpful.
(2)More problems to solve would be a big help. The book says that it comes with 100's of problems to solve which is true. The problem is though, that some concepts it will review and then give you only one or two problems to practice on. If you get those two wrong, you will feel like you really haven't learned the concept yet.
(3)More detail on the Working with Inequalities Chapter - (Chapter 16) I still don't feel like I have a grasp of that chapter after spending many hours trying to understand it.
(4)More details on Chapter 21- Getting to the Point With Graphing. The problems in this chapter give no clear explanation as to how the results came about like in the other chapters.
Other than that it's a good book and worth a purchase.
