Algebra for Dummies by Mary Jane Sterling (2001)

it makes understand algebra easier. Another student has told me about the book so I decided to get on E-Bay and look for it and read a few details and decided it would help me in class.

It is sad when you cant trust a seller with even a small item like a book. the seller claimed it was a new book. I bid thinking what a great deal. The the seller claimed it was damaged from water. I still have not recived the book weeks later.
I've bought cars, computers, the nintendo wii and other high priced items on ebay. But it sickens me when I get scammed like this for such a petty item. The fact is, when you are buying something over the internet under these conditions there will always be atleast one bad apple in the bunch.

This was an excellent purchase for me. Lord knows I have a math phobia that's out of this world. This book helped me get an 82 on my test after receiving several low scores. It really help my math skills and understanding the logic behind alegebra.

I THINK ALL THE "FOR DUMMIES" BOOKS ARE PRETTY WELL DONE. THEY USE HUMOR TO HOLD YOUR ATTENTION. THIS BOOK IS ESPECIALLY GOOD FOR BEGINNERS I THINK. I'VE BEEN DOING THIS AWHILE BUT I ALSO READ SOME TIPS AND IDEAS I HADN'T THOUGHT OF OR HAD THOUGHT OF IN A DIFFERENT WAY. I'M ALWAYS LOOKING FOR GOOD IDEAS. THIS BOOK HAS SOME.

I needed it and it was a GREAT price. Sorry it took me so long to review! It helped to me catch up on some Algebra that had long been forgotten that I needed for my current job

i Order this book for my son. He told me he needs this book. after I brought it, he told me some day that this book is very helpful, he made progrress after read this book. I think this is a good book.

I could move from basic math to Alegebra for Dummies and understand the concepts. I didn't find anything that was difficult for people with basic math skills.

Would have liked more detail on the answers. It did help some for my daughter. She asked for the book.

Good book full of need information and easy to understand. Written in an informative and clear manner.

I bought the book because I was had taken a three part test at work for the position of auditor, and had flunked the third part which tested on math, algebra,plane geometry and trigonometry. It's been 35 years since high school,
so I hoped buying the book would help refresh my memory on math and the things I had forgotten. It was written in simply terms, was descriptive, and funny.
Must have worked. I retook the test and sailed through, passing it with ease!

It is good but only if you remember the basics. The book explains things in a easy to understand way , but if you do not remember the basics, you won't understand

I bought this book because I never had algebra in school. I had to take a course in college and I desperately needed help. Judging from the title I thought this is just what I needed. But unfortunetly it wasn't much help to me. More reading than working problems...To me there were too many non important details. By the time I read those details and got back to what I was suppose to be learning, I was lost. I went to the book store at the college and bought another book. It costed more, but it helped me alot more than this one. The book seems to tell me more about why we use algeba, than how to do algebra. Sorry folks, maybe it's a format you'll understand, but it wasn't for me. By the way, I love reading.....but found this very unintresting.......
