Going Back to College..., Sep 13 2006
By Karen L. Mcginty "mcdisney2001" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Algebra Workbook For Dummies (Paperback)
I'm 35 and studying for a COMPASS test (college entrance exam for those who never took the ACT/SAT). I failed Algebra in High School, skipped classes alot, and remembered absolutely nothing, but I have a good head for numbers and logic, so I've found myself able to understand most of the concepts in this book so far. If you have no head for numbers, or feel that you aren't good with logic problems/eyeballing math questions, then you may want to also purchase the "Algebra For Dummies", as this book only *briefly* goes into each concept.Also, as a side note: please don't give an item a review of 1 star simply because another dealer fell through on delivery: it can mislead people who just look at the overall rating of a product. :-)

Algebra for Dummies Workbook, Aug 22 2006
By S. A. Cole - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Algebra Workbook For Dummies (Paperback)
I have gone back to college after 20 years and need to take a College Algebra course. This workbook has been very helpful in reviewing things I went over a very long time ago and making sense out of them. I highly recommend it.

Algebra Workbook For Dummies, Feb 25 2006
By Joann C. Pool "Hate abc's in math" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Algebra Workbook For Dummies (Paperback)
I purchased the Algebra for Dummies to help me in my Algebra class. Though it is a gret book and explains everything in a very easy to understand way, I felt I needed more practice with problems. This workbook did the trick!It correlates with the first book and you can use them together to fully understand the rules and concepts. A+++
