Basic Math and Pre-Algebra

We all know the feeling of "I understood there would be no math"...and it is a fact math was one of my worst subjects in school and I never did get the concept of algebra....this book was a great help in refreshing my memory of the math equations I did remember and in helping me understand the more difficult areas...I am progressing slowly with it at my own pace and so I havent completed all the chapters but it is very good has great sample problems so you can digest the information both by numbers and words....I recommend it highly for the lay person like myself.

If you are trying to refresh your basic math skills from high school, then this is the book for you. I have checked out several different basic math guides, including the "for Dummies" one, and this one is by far the best. It's small enough to fit in my bag, but still explains the problems well. I am doing so well with it that I am looking into the other topics that are covered by the series.
