A BETTER WAY TO COLLEGE ALGEBRA X-PERTISE
One of the most valuable tools acquired in a university education, college algebra is essential for courses from the sciences to computing, engineering to mathematics. It can help you do better on placement exams, even before college, and it's useful in solving the computations of daily life. Now anyone with an interest in college algebra can master it. In College Algebra Demystified, entertaining author and experienced teacher Rhonda Huettenmueller breaks college algebra down into manageable bites with practical examples, real data, and a new approach that banishes algebra's mystery.

- Perform better on placement exams
- Avoid confusion with detailed examples and solutions that help you every step of the way
- Conquer the coordinate plane, lines and intercepts, parabolas, and nonlinear equations

The only algebra book you need
I came to this book some 40+ years after doing (English) A-level maths. I haven't used that math since those exams, but needed to try and get the basics back in preparation for a math course in my mature years. And I found that this was certainly the book to do it!
Clear, concise explanations of the basics of each topic, leading you step by step to more advanced concepts. Lots of in-line tests to ensure that you have properly understood each part. And the tests' answers are explained, to help if you're going astray.
Ideal for either tackling in short 1/2 hour bites, or longer sittings.
I wish a book like this had been around back when I was at school. I envy the author's students.
