1 Needs to be proofread!
I'm reviewing algebra after not doing math for almost 6 years. I already had a basic understanding of algebra from high school so this book is good in that it's straight to the point. I'm only about 1/4 of the way through and there's already been 3 instances where the examples have completely confused me because there are mistakes in the problems. Don't believe me? Check out page 14, they're switching the signs when finding the remainder but they don't mention it anywhere in the lesson. On page 40 the exponent is a typo so the solution makes no sense! These are just a few of the mistakes I've come across and I'm sure there will be more so if you're buying this book be prepared for confusion.
2 Great quick refresher , with short to-the-point examples
This book does a hell of a good job reminding us of the quick rules and formulas of college algebra. Examples are given for every instance, and in most cases are exactly what the doctor ordered. A great quick reference, can't go wrong here for 6 bucks! Many thanks to the author!!
