The worst math book I ever recall encountering
It has been almost 3 decades since I have taken a math course of any type, so, after a co-worker gave me this book, I began thinking that I had completely lost it!I am 45 and headed back to college and wanted to "brush up" on old skills.I was considered pretty bright in math when I was younger and grasped concepts readily.While trying to work my way through this book, I ordered another book from Amazon, Algebra & Trigonometry (second edition) by Blitzer, in order to see if I could self teach Trig., and amazing things began to happen. IT (the Blitzer book) made sense!It also wasn't bogged down with examples that required a calculator to check if you grasped the concept.Once you understand the concept, entering data into a calculator should just be a method of saving time on large complex problems.
EXCELLANTO
I HELPED MY SON WITH HIS HOMEWORK AND PERSONALLY FOUND THAT I WAS IMPRESSED WITH THIS BOOK.VERY GOOD BOOK, VERY IMPRESSIVE LAYOUT.

Thorough but overkill
I absolutely agree with the review by Stephen Armstrong below. It doesn't take 50 - 100 problems for the average student to grasp a simple, basic algebraic concept. I see no reason for this book to be over 700 pages; the authors clearly ignored the need for simplicity and relevance in presenting their material. Of the several books I've used for algebra, this one has the most distracting presentation. It's hard to figure out what really matters and where the student should focus. And it's hard to discern how the concepts presented relate to each other. It seems that in the authors' desire to be thorough, they lost perspective. ... Read more

A good resource for math teams and algebra teachers
While this book is obviously a good resource for math teams (and apparently the audience towards which the book is geared), the book is also useful for teachers of regular algebra classes.While some of the problemsare considerably beyond the grasp of all but the most gifted students,others lie more reasonably on the more challenging side of what"average" students are capable of.Solving these problems reallyencourages students to mentally stretch more than the average storyproblems in a textbook, and the level of achievement students feel aftersolving one is truly gratifying.I've found these problems to beespecially good for small group work or "team" competitions. ...

A great book!
I love the way this book has you work out problems in the margins as you go through the reading.This makes sure that you understand the work that you've read about, before you go on to the next piece.I also like the fact that every other odd problem is solved step-by-step in the back of the book.

This book has everything a Algebra 1 Student needs
