Now I Get It!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Painless Algebra (Paperback)
Time to go back to college. Math was never my strongest subject. In fact it was my weakest. I had forgotten almost everything I learned in Algebra.I tried two books that claimed to make algebra a breeze. Promises. Promises. Then I bought PAINLESS ALGEBRA for a mere $8.95 and was pleased to find clear step by step explainations. Explanations that didn't require three readings before they made sense. I think the best way to approach the book is by reviewing the previous chapter before you begin a new chapter. A minor complaint: Too few exercises, as is the case with most of these types of books. But you can always find a workbook that will have problems for you to work out and the answers. Being mathematically challenged I recommend this book.

This book taught me algebra to about a grade 11 level. Five years later I still remember most of it. It really explains the equations, but I still suck at the word problems. I am going to try Painless Math Word Problems to address that.

This review is from: Painless Algebra (Paperback)
Ok, I have got to tell you up front that I have NEVER been a Math wiz, but after reading this book I can do algebra. I have never really gotten the hang of algebra. However I will be starting College in the fall, and I knew that if I was to have a chance of making it Past the first few weeks, I'd better Learn Algebra, and fast! So, I found this book, and I was sceptical, but after only 10 pages or so, I started to get a grasp of how Algebra Really works. Now I have read the book, and now I have a good understanding of how Algebra works. (I CAN DO IT NOW!) I would recomend this book to anyone struggling in algebra. However I must warn you This book does OVER simplify things in a few cases. Just don't get confused, or sidetracked. That is the only reason I could not give this book a 5 star rating.In conclusion this book works.
