The Complete Idiot's Guide To Algebra,

This 45 year old mom was ready to go back to school but not ready to face Intermediate Algebra, a requirement (either pass the class or test above) for my degree program. I read, practiced and studied and tested above the requirement. So now, I won't have to face a math class and can go right into the science classes that more closely fit in with my degree program. There were a couple of items in the book that I may never completely understand or be able to memorize but so much of the book was fun and very easy to "get" right away. I have already taken both high school and college level algebra so I have some background but there is no way I could have passed this placement requirement without studying this book for about a month. This book is not for complete idiots but instead for people who think they have become an idiot in math due to lack of practice. Now, I look forward to helping my kids with Algebra when it come their time.
