4By Nba2011Math isn't that bad after I read this bookMisleading but interesting
2By Cleopatra peanutIt would be four or five stars if it represented itself more clearly. It's really only the first chapter of the book The Math Dudes Quick and Dirty Guide to Algebra from what I can tell. To try to pass this off as its own compete book is deceiving. Why not call it what it is a test drive of the $9.99 book. That being said I enjoyed and it gave me the idea that the $9.99 might actually very very helpful! I'm considering buying it even though i graduate college some years back. I just never understood algebra. Even passing it I never understood it.Where's the rest?
2By madfordmacThe content is well thought out, and the book seems like it would be interesting, but the description of the book neglects to mention that this is only the first chapter!Sinny bones
4By esbierneyHiThis book stinks! ... And so does Algebra!
1By Laura SudowskiThis book stinks! It did not help me at all. Good thing it was free because that would've been a waste of my money. I would declare a refund!
