never too old to start learning
The writing itself is more than adequate and full of good humor and illustrations of the lessons. However!..the reading becomes more interesting than the learning from it, in my opinion. I'm from very old school education with practice practice and home work. SO far in my reading there is none of that. THe teaching style is so different than when I was in 7th grade "eons" ago. I'm not giving up however. Maybe I shall once again enjoy math.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

examples
I was counting on the book giving some practice problems for each chapter in addition to the few examples that followed each section in all chapters, but I'm mostly satisfied because I relearned a lot of what I was taught in one of my college math courses.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

great review for old folks like me
a different view of Algebra than I got in eighth grade. Much easier to listen to this teach than the catholic nuns I had for the subject. I will probably ACE this class instead of the Ds and Fs I got in grade school. FredVerified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

The book lacks illustrations
The book lacks illustrations( examples) but is abundant in words which force you to read a lot to find at the end just one example. I think there are better books about algebra out there with more examples.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
