Summary: Quick Algebra Review
Review: Another of Mr. Peter H. Selby's fine book. Communicating is an art within him which few have. Modern technology as we experience it today, reveals to many of us who are senior professionals not only how much we have fallen behind in the math sciences, but how much knowledge of the past has faded from us.It is depressing to us to realize this. Thanks in great part to Mr. Selby, we are able to review and recover so much with such ease as never before in life. He takes you through difficult concepts with such ease. His style and method turns you into an addiction on the subject.I highly recommend his books to those who "cannot understand concepts". Electronic calculators have turned us into non-computable brains, and we are ignorant in the knowledge of many basics. He steers us through so many "mysteries" in math with such pleasure and ease.

Summary: It did the trick. . .
Review: I am returning to college and wanted to place as high as possible in the required series of math classes. Bascially, I wanted to skip all the pre-algebra and beginning aglebra classes and test into College Algebra. I knew I knew this stuff, but I haven't had a math class in 20 years. So I got this book, did all the reviews and exercises from cover to cover, and, amazingly, it all came back to me. It took me about 6 weeks, a few nights a week, to get through it. I took the placement test at the college and got placed into the class I hoped for - I begin College Algebra next quarter. It would never have been possible without this book (and my hard work studying everything it offered). If you are returning to school and need an algebra refresher, this is an excellent one.

Summary: Algebra Review
Review: I had to take the GMAT in order to get into business school. Although I had a good foundation in Algebra, I hadn't used or studied it in over 20 years. I had to re-learn Algebra and practice those horrid word problems. "Quick Algebra Review" was fantastic. I was amazed at how much I had forgotten and at how fast it came back. It wasn't easy though; I put in some long study hours and it paid off. If you have to re-learn algebra, then this is the book for you.

Summary: Fantastic book with great format
Review: This book amazed me. It had been five years since I took Algebra in high school. I took a college entrance exam and only qualified for Gen Math. Then I bought this book, and zipped through it in a month. Afterwards I took the entrance exam again and qualified for College Trig!
