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! This book was very helpful.

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.

Its written much better than the book I had back then. <br /> <br />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. <br /> <br />Pre-Calculus is also a well written book.

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