A BETTER WAY TO COLLEGE ALGEBRA X-PERTISE

One of the most valuable tools acquired in a university education, college algebra is essential for courses from the sciences to computing, engineering to mathematics. It can help you do better on placement exams, even before college, and it’s useful in solving the computations of daily life. Now anyone with an interest in college algebra can master it. In College Algebra Demystified, entertaining author and experienced teacher Rhonda Huettenmueller breaks college algebra down into manageable bites with practical examples, real data, and a new approach that banishes algebra’s mystery.

With College Algebra Demystified, you master the subject one simple step at a time—at your own speed. Unlike most books on college algebra, general concepts are presented first—and the details follow. In order to make the process as clear and simple as possible, long computations are presented in a logical, layered progression with just one execution per step.

This fast and easy self-teaching course will help you :

• Perform better on placement exams
• Avoid confusion with detailed examples and solutions that help you every step of the way
• Conquer the coordinate plane, lines and intercepts, parabolas, and nonlinear equations
• Get comfortable with functions, graphs of functions, logarithms, exponents, and more
• Master aspects of algebra that will help you with calculus, geometry, trigonometry, physics, chemistry, computing, and engineering
• Reinforce learning and pinpoint weaknesses with questions at the end of every chapter, and a final at the end of the book

   I use this to teach myself stuff I forgot, and refer to it when I tutor. These math ‘demystified’ books are awesome!!!

   This book was very helpful. I was in a 5 week college math class online. Our ebook nor our hard copy book offered as much insight or help as this book. It was totally worth the money I spent on it to get me the “A” I needed!

   The only reason I gave 2 stars was because there are quite a few problems to work out. If you want supplemental problems for a College Algebra class to work then this book is right for you, if you are trying to use it as a self study guide then do not bother purchasing this book, I would recommend Schaum’s Outline College Algebra. The author does not explain the steps in how problems are solved, if you are using this for self study, which the author proclaims, you do not have access to a instructor to ask your questions so adequet explanations should have been included.

   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.

   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.
