Good general coverage,
By A Customer
This review is from: Teach Yourself Algebra (Paperback)
This book provides an excellent grounding in some of the fundamentals of algebra, although, as the book points out in the preface, it is not complete in its coverage of algebra and has little in the way of proofs. Also, it does not teach you as many of the techniques for solving word problems that you will encounter in algebra outside of the book as it probably should do. A whole chapter devoted to word problems would have been good. This book is firmly aimed at school students or those who have forgotten the principles of algebra, and in that it is an excellent book. However, since no coverage is given to more advanced topics such as matrix or linear algebra, a title along the lines of 'Teach Yourself Elementary Algebra' would have been better.

Old reliable companion for reviewing basic Algebra...,
By Kersi Von Zerububbel "Kersi" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Algebra (Paperback)
I have the Asian paperback edition of this book. This text was a standard in the 1960s for folks who wanted to bursh up on their High School algebra. The format is pedagogical in the British style from the 1940-50s era. I have always found this to be a faithful companion when I find myself forgetting basic algebraic tasks such as simultaneous equations, factoring, etc. The writing is simple and easy to follow. There are numerous exercises to reinforce the material. There is one drawback. I have found quite a few errors in the solutions within the text AND in some of the answers to exercises. However, if one is familiar with the material these shortcomings can be easily excused. If you are just beginning to learn algebra go with "Practical Algebra " by Selby et al. However if you have take the subject before and just want to brush up basic High School algebra get this volume. 11 of 12 people found the following review helpful
