Summary: Very helpful
Review: I'm a seventh grader about to go to eighth and I had know idea on how to do Pre-Al much less than Algebra. I picked up this book and was insantly hooked. Kinda funny with typos on porpose. Heck instead of dreading of doing Algebra i will willing read thourgh this book many times

Summary: study for placement tests with this book
Review: If you've taken the math before, and dont want to restart your education with math 008 then get your math skills back with this book. Even with my short attention span, bad eyes, and a lousy memory i was able to move thru the information, and manage to come away with more math skills then i've had in 20 years.it even has a few pages on circles, and triangles!

Summary: Worth perusing. But better choices abound.
Review: Out of curiosity I went through this book. The material is presented in an informal style which is great. However, in pursuit of trying to be "cute" the presentation spills over into flippancy. Important algebraic ideas are scanned over and the author misses out on explaining some vital points. I am all for making the material fresh and "fast" but not at the expense of rigor.
If you want a no-nonsense but excellent and very useable treatment of Algebre go with "Practical Algebra" by Selby et al.

Summary: Still do not have a clue!
Review: Sorry, but this book was NO help, got a tutor and was told to throw the book away. Book made me feel stupid when I know I'm not. Typos, wrong answers, LOTS of mistakes too. Showed examples of problems, then went right on to REALLY hard problems without examples of how to do them.
