Customer Rating: Summary: Good additional instruction Comment: I bought this book for my daughter, who was about to enter Algebra II and wanted a refresher course in Algebra I. This is definitely not a book for people who are unfamiliar with algebra and haven't taken a class or studied it already. But my daughter found the book useful, and she's doing very well in her AII class. Customer Rating: Summary: Does Exactly What it is Supposed to Do Comment: This is NOT an algebra textbook and it was never meant to be one. It's meant to SUPPLEMENT a textbook. I have an extremely hard time understanding math books and math teachers. I've always been that way. I've repeated Pre-Algebra and Algebra so many times it'd make your head spin. Well, this gives me a second explanation to turn to when I don't understand the one in my Algebra book.
I own or have owned a total of over twenty "...For Dummies" books and this is the best of them all. The explanations in this book are the clearest I have ever seen. The author is a master at making things easy for me to understand. She gives me confidence that I never had before. Customer Rating: Summary: Great tool Comment: It has made my algebra review easy. The author gave me clear instructions and plenty of examples. I know it better now than I learned it 40 years ago. Customer Rating: Summary: Algebra for Dummies Comment: I was forced into taking Algebra as one of the requirements for my Associates. I had never taken Algebra before and was a little nervous about taking it. My professor suggested this book so I would have a reference that spoke in plain english. It was helpful in understanding some of the verbage of algebra. I got through with a "B" and consider myself extremely lucky. I recommend this book for beginners or just someone who needs to brush up on the basics of algebra. Customer Rating: Summary: Never received my order Comment: I ordered this book on March 17th and I still have not received my order. It is now April 24th so it's a little disappointing.
