I'm 38 and am a home schooler and to get back into math mode, I chose this book. I did every odd problem and some of the systhesis problems. You will learn the material if you take the time. I spent around 14 or 15 months to get through the book. The program is excersises and review. Constant review is huge plus. I recommend you get the solutions manual from addison wesley. I've just started Marv's et.al.. Precalculus book and then will go onto calculus. I'm enjoying the math. Much more then in high school.My son and I sit down and learn together. He says "get your book" and lets do math. The key to his desire to do math is because he see's his dad doing it.I've seen many other books and this tops them all.
I have tutored math for over 20 years and Bittenger's book is one of the best I have ever seen for taking pre-algebra students from the basics to the complex. His examples are clearly laid out, easy to follow, and they lay a solid foundation for higher math learning. This book's concepts will definitely help high school students prepare for the SATs.
This book is not all you get. The book itself is great. But the additional FREE helps which come with the book assure that even the most inept math student can learn algebra. These helps consist of, but are not limited to:1) free tutoring via phone,email,& fax; 2)free practice problems via internet website. Other supplemental materials consist of: Videotapes, Tutorial Software, and a solutions manual. These are all available for the student. I haven't even mentioned the benefits that a classroom teacher has through the Instructor Supplements. These consist of a Test Bank/Instructor's Guide, extra practice problems, mtls for transparencies, video tape index, and several tools for the computer users: test generator, test grader,on-line course management and testing. In other words, this is a great resource for teachers also. I am in the processing of trying to purchase it for my school.
Yet another giant textbook that you will probably only use 1/3 to 1/2 of during the semester. Make some extra room in your bag for this 1120 page monster.Overall, it's well written. I had an easy time understanding the concepts as they were presented in the book, with minimal help from my professor.My only complaint (other than the size) is the blatant product placement throughout the book. Real life brand names appear in hundreds of word problems, and I felt like I was being advertised to while I was trying to do my homework. It was a very uncomfortable feeling.
This book is great! I'm 46 & this book really helped me re-learn pre-algebra. Of couse, I had an excellent teacher (thank you, Taya!), but she chose course materials very well! This book helps to thoroughly explain concepts & solutions!
This is the answer portion of a two book set plus an online MML site that compiles a portion this piece of education if you choose to rent or purchase the spiral version of the authors' series of books to complete this course. The price of the text is a little pricey but then maybe not when you consider you are getting two classes worth of teaching for the price of one. From that point of view this is a pretty cheap text and workbook combo. You can rent a spiral bound that requires you to get info from the MML site which you find you have no access code for. Ratings state the company willing to refund but if you ordered this manual of answers and you need the book, may I suggest you do not rent or buy the spiral edition. Look for a used book in good enough condition to get you through the courses and be done with it!
It helped build confidence when I got the answer right & it also helped in showing me what I did wrong when I needed it. If you buy the "fish book" for Algebra, then buy this one to go with it; it's totally worth having both.
This book is a part of the Elementary & Intermediate math book it shows a student on how to come up on the right answer. I also ordered another solutions book for a fellow student that should be arriving shortly.
