Customer Reviews

Excellent book
This is an excellent book for those who want to resurrect their algebra or as a revision book for those who are currently studying maths but find it a struggle. If you have a natural flair for maths then perhaps this is not for you. It spells out each step in a calculation which is often not found in books for the highly numerate.
