I purchased this book because it contains easy to understand formulas for solving word problems (applications). Helps to isolate the important data and plug into the formula where needed. Gives simple examples. This is for people who are having difficulty with algebra and beginning learners. It's probably not for advanced classes, unless you require a review of the basics. I saw the first edition of this book in the school's library and decided to buy one to keep at home for reference. Happy to discover it's been re-published. The first edition is great and the second edition is as good or better. This would be an excellent book to study while on summer vacation so that math skills are not lost. I only wish I'd met this book sooner. Like 40 years ago. It would have made a difference.
I found this book to be very useful. I am good at solving algebra problems but analyzing and setting up work problems is a challenge. This book has good explanations and samples and problems to do that test your understanding.

I bought this for my son who just started college. He did not put much effort into high school so now he needs to learn what he should of already known. The book does a good job of guiding and explaining things. I have a friend who was able to work with him and she felt this book was just what he needed to improve his skills.
