Awesome book!!! I loved Algebra in high school, did well in college, yet that was 26 years ago so this is great to simplify things and help you SEE what’s happening when you look at each problem. Love it. Thank you for this!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent!
Reviewed in the United States on July 31, 2020

Of all the self-study math book,s I find the Demystified series to be the most useful. There are step by step answers to all examples and all practice problems. I notice that some reviewers stated there were no answers to the quiz problems. My book includes answers to all quizzes and the final exam, which covers about 3 pages in the back of the book. Keep in mind that all quizzes are multiple-choice, so what's in the answer section just lists the "letter" of the answer (ABCD).

Not much help, you're thinking, if you can't figure out how they got that answer. However, my strategy has been, if I'm stumped by how a quiz problem is solved, I can go back in the chapter and almost always find a solved problem with exactly that configuration, which I can use as a template to solve the quiz problem.

I would recommend, for anyone looking at self study math books, that you take advantage of the "look inside" function so you can see how the problems are laid out and whether that particular teaching method speaks to you. That's been the most helpful to me in selecting which book to purchase.

4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty good resource guide so far
Reviewed in the United States on September 13, 2017

Pretty good resource guide so far, it helps to have a second source of information while studying and reviewing class lectures. My only problem is that some of the how to's and information can be a little confusing and would have you read back a couple times to try and see what the author was going for.

This is overall a really great resource book and i recommend McGraw Hill's Demystified for college/school supplements.

This book is fantastic. I purchased this book to prepare me for my College Algebra course this Summer and feel I am well-prepared. All of the problems in this book have clear, concise explanations. There are enough practice problems to gain skill by repetition. The Precalculus Demystified book is written by the same author and I purchased it to prepare me for my Fall semester of taking Precalculus. I am glad I found this series of books.

Reviewed in the United States on February 1, 2023

The condition of the book is satisfactory. The delivery was on time.
About the book itself, I think the typesetting sometimes makes you feel not easy to read. The illustration of some theories can be better done with graphics instead of wordy paragraphs.
If you are preparing for your college algebra, you probably need extra reading for a good grade. You need an extra chapter about number systems and operations that you can find in this book. I find the content in this edition did not cover some of the requirements.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent. Math: Simplified.
Reviewed in the United States on December 21, 2015

Excellent book. This is the book to have if you want to start your road into College Algebra. After completing a chapter I urge you to go through the chapter and do all the practice problems and if you mess up on a problem that's ok, find out why. Then do the chapter quiz, If you get an A move to next chapter and anything below is poor work, do the practice problems again until you can get an A in the quizzes. I love this book as it is sooooooo much simpler than other textbooks. Instead of getting bogged down in the superfluous you get concepts quickly and easily. I am literally blazing through the book.I will certainly buy other books by the same author as she clearly knows what she is doing. If she was my math teacher in grade school I would've discovered time travel, cold fusion, and FTL travel already.

Daughter needed to take the CLEP College Algebra exam. She had taken up to CC Math3 or Algebra 2 by Sophomore year of high school, and took some pre calc, but was in AP Stat this year. She picked up the book about two weeks ago and worked daily to get through it. She found it easy to understand and actually learned some concepts that were poorly taught to her the first time around. She said it did a good job of explaining concepts step by step. She passed the test with a higher score than needed. She wishes she would have had it earlier in high school and thinks it would be helpful for both high school and preparation for CLEP.

I'm going to be going back to school for a science-intensive program. As a result, I needed a clear, concise refresher of Algebra to prepare for Physics and Chemistry. College Algebra DeMYSTiFieD is a fantastic refresher that contains solid explanations of the important algebra concepts. It has plenty of practice problems, and detailed answer keys. It is a great self-study tool for anyone needing a good reminder of how algebra works.

Parfait pour apprendre l'algèbre II en autodidacte ou en complément de cours pour les lycéens. Tous les exercices sont corrigés dans le détail.
Un vrai plaisir de faire des maths avec Mme Huettenmueller. Si j'avais eu un prof de maths comme elle quand j'étais au lycée, j'aurais sûrement pris goût à cette matière passionnante. Mais il n'est jamais trop tard pour s'y mettre. J'ai 63 ans et je trouve ça tout aussi intéressant que la lecture de Paul Féval, Octave Mirbeau, Georges Bernanos ou Balzac que j'adore aussi.
Dommage que les éditeurs français ne traduisent pas ce genre d'ouvrages ou que nos profs de maths ne lancent des séries de formations aussi bien faite que leurs confrères américains.
Ceci dit le niveau d'anglais requis est très simple (150 mots et un dico) c'est avant tout un bouquin de maths.
