Algebra I For Dummies (For Dummies (Math & Science)) 2nd Edition

I liked how the book was so well writtenI wished I had this book when I was taking the course in high school in 1966It would have saved me a lot of grief

I'm just saying that it was a good one for me to get. I just want to see the point where it is a great way to get my money on this one. I suggest that the company Amazon has a lot more to do with a new version of kindle fire when you have a great dictionary definition tool for me to get the best out of my favorite part of the day when you get to see the point of readings through the first time in the book with a tap on the text for a few explanations of the meaning of a word in each of the sections of the book. Like a great reference journal of the book which is a great way to get to know what you want to see. The first time I see the new one is the best thing ever when the new one would have a dictionary definition tool for the next and every word so I can get the best out of the best books and it would be the new leader in the world to me that it would be the best way to get the education in my life I live on and a great way to get the best thing everyday, the most important lessons learned from the start of the day, to learn the difference in the morning of every single nuance of any book because of the information on this definition tool.

Overall this book is very handy, I learned a lot of useful things that will help me to solve problems in many areas of my life, like in software engineering.There were times when I also researched about the topic in YouTube and Google to have more general idea, so don't be afraid to google when you don't understand something well.I was not math person in school, but this book showed that the math can be fun and useful for problem solving.

I love all of Professor Sterling's "Dummie Books". I am a bit ashamed of loving this one, however. when I have a problem with one of my Big College Books, I would hope that it would be big and complicated enough for her Algebra II book, but, I find out that the Algebra I book actually has a very good and detailed chapter on what happens to be slowing me down.She is very smart, but apparently she has had a lot of experience either in tutoring, or in helping desperate students showing up during her office hours.... She is Head of the Math Dept at some Mid-West University... no, not Harvard, Yale or Sanford... but she definitely knows her Math (in her Algebra II book she some out with a Neat Trick that she developed herself... the Girl is Smart and she ain't lazy. Clear and Lucid. I only regret that there is not a lot of exercises and problems, like in the College Textbooks.... but for this price.... well, buy her workbooks and such.

The book is fine as a stand-alone algebra 1 instructional, but for some reason, the chapters in the book do not correlate to the same chapters in the workbook. Both this book and the workbook are divided into 5 parts which do genreally correspond. However, the individual chapters within each part and the topics within each chapter are not in the same order between the two books. So, if you're like me and planned on going through each chapter in this book one at a time and then working the corresponding chapter in the workbook, you're going to be confused. You'll have to search through the workbook to find the chapters and problems that correspond to the chapter you just read in the main book.Just to be clear, the author does a good job of explaining each topic and you can learn from this book. I just don't understand why this book and the companion workbook aren't correlated more closely so that they can be used together more easily.

Useful for studying

This book seriously has helped me out. I failed algebra 2 times in college. I'm on my 3rd try and I have a B in the class right now.
