Better than elementary
This book, I must say, is very good companion for any high school or middle school students who want to master the subject. I like this intermediate algebra better than the elementary one--simply more interesting. But to well prepare yourself for college math/algebra, you only need this book: the most useful problem or resource book that I have ever read in English :
Very Happy
I purchased this book to makea quick review of Math and help my son. I am so happy that I will buy the entire collection from elementary Algebra to Calculus includingDifferencial equations, Geometry and Trigonometry. Great help for those who need a solid foundation in Math. You can't go wrong with Schaum's Outline.

A highly useful supplement
If you're returning to college after a while and feel rusty, you should have a copy of this book.In it, you will find a concise, clear review of the theory, followed immediately by many problems with detailed solutions.Nothing is worse than in a math class than getting hung up on some idea during the semester.You will fall behind and probably not catch up.Try to work the problems, though, before looking at the answers.

No variable quality here
One of the first things that jumps out at the reader of this text book is the colour - I remember algebra texts from nearly three decades ago when I first learned the subject, and they were usually fairly boring black-and-white texts.This has colour on every page.There are marginal pull-quote boxes that explain in simpler, verbal language some of the algebraic and mathematical concepts being demonstrated in the problems.There are also marginal notes that give hints (Success Tips, Caution, and Notation pieces) to remind students of key concepts or introduce important and special elements.
not great
well like the title says it suppose to be hardcover, have a CD-ROM with it and be titled INtermediate Algebra... none of it applied... i didn't get the CD it was not hardcover and the book i got is called

de Boor's "A Practical Guide to Splines"
This is absolutely the most excellent book on the subject ever written.It is rigorous, accessible to those who are not professional mathematicians, and full of examples.Using de Boor's public domain software is a cinch, but you need to read the book to fully understand how to do it properly.I really wonder how I got along without it all these years.

Splines are more than you thought
This is a very nice book about splines for all who needs interpolation of data and are getting a bit nervous about the somewhat improper behaviour of normal cubic splines, i.e., the ones you learned about in your undergradexam.The author provides both illustrative examles with computer codes(in FORTRAN) and describes the necessary theoretical background. Comparedwith many other books, it is readable also for a non-mathematician,although some experience with numerical analysis will be most helpful. ... Read more

Intermediate Algebra
I was to start by saying that the seller did specify that this was the instructor's edition of the text and the book was sent timely and in excellent condition.the problem I have is with the book itself. As the teacher's edition it doesn't not meet my needs for the class. The teacher's edition gives the answers but does not break down how they arrived at the solution.Therefore, I have to purchase another textbook.

Excellent
An excellent book such as this one deserves praise. I read it, I got it, and I can teach it.

This book was not very helpful.
This book was the text for a class I took.Everyone, including the teacher, found it almost impossible to learn from the book.We used it for exercises and examples, but that was about it. ... Read more

An interesting math textbook!
First, I should share that I am the author ot this textbook!Next, I want to respond to the other review by saying that the criticisms are accurate for the premlinary edition, but not this first edition (with subtitle "Functions and Authentic Applications").In fact, the first edition was not available when the other review was posted!In the first edition I completely rewrote the the text so that it is now really easy to follow.It even has a list of key points at the end of each section.The text has tons of current, interesting data sets that makes the course come alive.You will need to use a graphing calculator with this text.My students love using this text and I'm sure you will too! ...

Good reference maybe
I'm not sure what sort of person would find this book useful.If you want to LEARN about Bezier or B-Spline curves, then I don't think this book is for you.The authors' stated goal was to "provide a solid and uniform derivation" of Bezier and B-Spline properties.I believe that they have succeeded, almost every factoid I've seen in other books is included and proved rigorously.What is NOT included is any sort of meaningful explanation of the concepts.The material is presented at a breakneck pace, with everything presented exactly once, and most often in mathematical notation rather than in English.This is a good way to pack a lot of material into a few pages, but it makes for pretty difficult reading.I really don't see how a person could possibly follow the exposition in this book unless they basically already knew the material.

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!

Excellent
The University of Chicago Math Series is excellent as an self-study orin-classroom math series. I prefer it over other curriculums I have used.

"Chicago Math" Algebra text is Excellent!
Our 14 yr. old (homeschooled) daughter just completed this University of Chicago's Algebra textbook.She found the text complete, thorough, and very easy to follow! She found it to be an almost completely 'self taught'course!She also enjoyed the colorful pictures, extra projects sections,and the interesting sidenotes which included world trivia topics. We havebeen successfully using the Saxon math text books for all of our lowergrade math work thus far, and were somewhat reluctant to try something"new" and different.But right from the start, our daughterLOVED the Chicago math, and welcomed the change. I just wish that there hadbeen a text like this for me, her mother, when I was struggling throughAlgebra back in the '70's.We would highly recommend this math textbook,and it's clear solution manual to ANYONE studying Algebra!Go ahead andtry something different this year! ...
