Condition is great
You will definately find that this book is in good condition. The cover is slightly worn, so that is why I rated this book with 4 stars. ... Read more

Book needs more explanations and less fluff
Book needs more explanations on problems and less "Study habit reminders" and other fluffy stuff that I just skip over. What student has time to read the "extra optional stuff"?
Sometimes complex
This book covers many problems but lacks descriptive solutions. I could not get a good concept of how to solve the problems because most of the solutions were broken into several sections. This book does give some of the answers but again it does lack descriptive solutions.

I can't wait to get this book!
In my pre-algebra I and II classes, we used Martin-Gay's books.They were wonderful!They're easy to understand and follow with plenty of exercises.I was looking forward to using her books for Intermediate Algebra.I was extremely disappointed to find that the college switched to a different book...one that isn't helpful at all.I'm planning on using Martin-Gay's book along side our college textbook we now have.Hopefully, the lightbulb will be going on much quicker! ...

Great Math book!
I found this book at a local bookstore which I bought for extra help in my math course.In less than two weeks of purchasing, I was just showing up to class for attendance purposes.I learned much more from this book than lecture.The lowest grade I made on one of my tests was an 80! The steps to solving problems are clearly written.The exercises start easy to moderate difficulty before challenging to use what you've just learned.I would rate this book five stars but on some topics it can be a little sketchy and leave you scratching your head about what to do next.However, I will continue to purchase any of Dugopolski's books as they are well-written.I already own two for leisure!

Keeps your interest
I have to admit to a little bias -- I was the editor who worked on this book over a decade ago. Nice to see it's still around.
An Example of How Math Books Should Be Written
I find this book more than an excellent introduction to the world of modular systems.It is also an example of the way math books should be written.I believe that one of the problems with the traditional way of teaching math (as well as many other subjects) is that we are frequently answering questions that were never asked.This book engages the reader in the discovery process and provides a fascinating mechanism to stimulate the student's curiosity to assist the student in discovering the solutions -- rather than merely witnessing them.
Too cute by half
This book is intended to be a middle school level introduction to modular arithmetic. To catch the interest of students at this level the author employs a running dialog between two characters, Ant and Gnam, who one supposes to be standins for the author and her husband. This in itself is not a bad idea except there is too much of this dialog and it is not very well written. For that matter the math writing is not all that good either. I think that a middle school student would have difficulty following it, although the book could serve as a teacher's guide, in which case the excess dialog is definitely superfluous.

Excellent, concise introduction
Peter J. Cameron's "Introduction to Algebra" is exactly that, an introduction to algebra and a good one at that.I must confess that before reading this book had a very limited knowledge of abstract algebra however with a little bit of time and effort I am now quite comfertable with the subject thanks to this book.Read more
