Book Reviews of Practical Algebra: A Self-Teaching Guide, 2nd Edition
Book Review: Good book.
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this book to help learn what my remedial algebra teacher failed to teach me. It really helps you understand what to do on certain problems and does a fair job at keeping you interested. Trust me, the only reason I need remedials is because math bores me to tears so I never paid attention in school. This book helped me understand everything I always ignored and better prepared me for my current math class.
I only with there was a section in the book that provided more problems per section. Each section, while clearly explained, only uses about 4-6 problems, plus the end of chapter test. I would have like more problems to hone my newly acquired skills.
