If you're going to buy Pre-Calculus.....

I felt this book was written with clarity.
Much of it was a review for a subject that I had studied years ago and had forgotten. Its written much better than the book I had back then.

However if you intend to purchase "Pre-Calculus" by the same author, buy that book and by-pass this book. Most of the material is duplicated in "Pre-Calculus" plus the additional material you will need for calculus.

Pre-Calculus is also a well written book.

Do yourself a favor and buy this book.

I haven't taken a math class in years and I would have tanked had I not bought this book. It is well written and covered most of the topics that my online College Alegbra class covered.

Good Book-Didn't Meet my needs

This is a well-written, easy to understand book.
I ordered it as a companion to help me through my Algebra courses via UofPhoenix.
The curriculum didn't quite follow the same pattern as my college course, so I was unable to use the book as a reference.
It's probably best for a jr high/high school level algebra or remedial algebra college course.
Worth looking at if you are needing a review of algebra.

Refreshing

This is an excellent book for those trying to get a refresher in Algebra. I've been using this to study for a accuplacer math placement test. I feel very confident taking the test now.

I Hate Math!

Math is really hard for me and when I took college algebra online I had a really hard time (no surprises there). I had some super high expectations for this book and sadly, it did not deliver as I'd hoped. I expected the book to make the work more plain and easy to understand. Instead soon after my class reached(week 3), I gave the book a frustrated toss toward the nearest corner. Perhaps I needed Pre-Algebra demystified, because for the next three months, I was quite confused and I didnt find the book very helpful.
