An excellent general math review
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
I got this book shortly before going back to college because I knew the entrance exam would contain a fair amount of math and I was rusty. The book is very thorough and offers clear explainations of not only the solutions to problems, but also the theory behind those solutions. With the help of this book, I was able to test out of general math, pre-algebra, and basic algebra.
Perfect, except for the editing

My only beef: there are several incorrectly computed answers in Math the Easy Way. It also has several typos, though I think these are minor. For the student willing to learn by this book, though, you couldn't do better. Highly recommended.
Helpful.

I checked out quite a few books to help me review basic math and algebra concepts, not knowing which ones would click with me and which wouldn't. Of the six hefty workbooks I selected, this one was my favorite. It offers lots of pre-tests, exercises, and follow-up tests with explanatory answers at the back. The first test in the book tests what you already know overall before studying the information inside, and then each answer is listed in an index next to a label of what sort of problem it is, allowing the reader to pinpoint areas where help is needed. The book has some cartoon drawings which some people might find distracting but I liked the light-approach, the actual verbal descriptions are clear and not 'jokey' or distracting like some of the other books were. I found the methods and how they were presented easier to work with than the other books.
Does a great job

This book helped me get my "math" legs back under me. I feel that it is primarily aimed at those with a prior knowledge and only need a good refresher. It starts out with basic things such as percents and long division, and it ends up touching upon some basic algebra. If you need a good refresher, this book is great.
Great Review!

I found this book to be extremely helpful. I have never been very good in the math department and this book has helped me considerably. It is very easy to understand and it makes problems such as (6/2)-(8/9)=? seem very simple.The author first gives you a basic outline and then he goes into more detail, with many sample problems. This book explains basic concepts much better than any of my former teachers ever did. I am going back to college and I needed a refresher course, I could not have asked for or found a better book to get the math review I needed. I recommend this book wholeheartedly.
