Summary: great simple basic for middle school
Comment: This works well for the 9 middle school students whom I home school. I like the simple format with a clear explanation on one side of a page and appropriate exercises on the other side. This does however, require a somewhat dense page layout that is black and white with no pictures or interesting graphics. I explain each lesson, and provide my own visual amplifiers so it works well for me.

Summary: The best Algebra Book!
Comment: I just bought this book for my daughter who is learning Algebra I. This book is much better than the $80 book she had been using. Why is this book so great? First of all, it has many examples of different problems in each chapter. The examples not only give the answer, but it shows all the steps. There are pages of different types of examples. The other reason it is so great is there is so much repetition. Even if you do not need to use every problem, it is there for you when you need a lot of repetition to reinforce concepts. All the explanations are clear and concise.

Summary: Most excellent book for my middle school boy
Comment: Each chapter starts with very helpful concise summary with good examples and are followed by many good exercises. This book is much better than other books. This is much better than many of school math books which are very thick and lengthy, but may not be really helpful.

Summary: Organized adn Streamlined
Comment: I bought this book to brush up on my skills before taking College Algebra and Precalculus. This book breaks down everything and also includes definitions and tons of problems to work. The book seems to follow a sensible order as far as the math building on itself. This is the best study guide I've ever bought. I would HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone brushing up on their skills, a high school/college student, or general reference to help kids with their homework. Also the author provides an email adress and fax number if you are confused and need help with any problems free of charge! I would also recommend the second series in this book (Algebra II with Precalculus). Overall great buy! I don't know why people don't know about this author and his books!
