Been a while since that high school algebra class? And now you're up against a college admission exam or a math placement exam and need a refresher? This book is structured so that it can be used in a classroom setting or as a book for individual, self-paced study. The text begins with real numbers and goes through quadratic equations, or roughly the equivalent of a junior high or high school Algebra I class. It's easy to use, easy to learn from, and each module builds upon the last.

But if you have a math whiz kid in the family, hide the book. They seem to find it quite funny that Mom at 40-something is struggling to relearn the algebra that they mastered in their sleep! :-)
