Customer Reviews

Excellent explanations

This is a terrific book that teaches each algebraic principal step by step. You must be patient and take your time but the concepts are explained thoroughly. However, there are very few practice problems. Use this book to learn how do to each problem but purchase another book in order to practice and work additional problems.

Math Made Easy!

Bob Miller takes very difficult concepts and makes them extremely easy to grasp. It is the one math book that will not make you tear your hair out of your head! The author uses a bit of humor and emotion to make math understandable to the average layman. The books are meant to be a supplement to whatever math text you are using. After Bob explains the concepts you will breeze through your textbook's examples. A great book at a great price!

Very helpful

I'm a seventh grader about to go to eighth and I had know idea on how to do Pre-Al much less than Algebra. I picked up this book and was insantly hooked. Kinda funny with typos on porpose. Heck instead of dreading of doing Algebra i will willing read thourgh this book many times

study for placement tests with this book

If you've taken the math before, and dont want to restart your education with math 008 then get your math skills back with this book. Even with my short attention span, bad eyes, and a lousy memory i was able to move thru the information, and manage to come away with more math skills then i've had in 20 years.it even has a few pages on circles, and triangles!
