Kaplan Math Power, Second Edition: Empower Yourself! Math Skills for the Real World

helpful math review I recieved a lot out of reading this book.

I found this math book to be very well written and very helpful. I used this book to teach myself complex math and simple math for job exams. This is a great choice for a study guide.

Covers the vast majority of math material that you will encounter on the GMAT. The author's style is conversational, so this book is especially good for people who are more verbal oriented than math oriented. Explanations are easy to follow but also in a good amount of depth. I especially liked the explanations of how everyday formulas were derived. Much better than just memorizing the formulas. Not a lot of practice problems, so you'll have to get those elsewhere.Definitely skip the introduction. It will insult your intelligence and make you want to burn the book. Nevertheless, the remaining 18 chapters are solid.
