Summary: Great Refresher Course for the Fearful
Comment: Forgotten Algebra is written in a way that all math textbooks *should* be written. Math isn't supposed to be scary, and there's usually a very straightforward way to approach each problem -- this book shows you that way.
That being said, Forgotten Algebra is designed for people who have been exposed to Algebraic concepts (perhaps in high school), but don't remember things like manipulating fractions, factoring, or the rules of exponents. (Wait! If those words made your spine shiver, no worries -- this book will take away that fear.)
Of course, if you've never taken any kind of algebra, this book will be a bit over your head. Likewise, you don't need this book if you've recently taken algebra. Other than a few errors in the answer key (thus, the four stars), this book is well organized and quite good. It helped prep me for a college calculus course 13 years after high school, and it can help you too.

Summary: Great Refresher!
Comment: I recently decided to go back to college, so I needed a book that would remind me of all the Algebra I had forgotten in the past ten years in order to pass a math placement exam. Not only did I pass the exam, but I did BETTER than most of the incoming Freshmen!
I do have to agree with everyone else, that there are a few errors. However, there are so many practice problems in the book, that they can be overlooked. I only wish that EVERY problem was worked out in the back.

Summary: There are TONS of errors in this book!!!!!
Comment: I was real excited about this book because I havent taken math in over three years. I liked the simple explanations and refreshing review. There is plenty of space for practice and just enough problems to work so that the book is not jumbled with practice.
The only gripe and I think this is important one , is that their are tons of errors! I am only on page 53 and I have found at least 6 errors. If you don't know your algebra or dont remember much you can be misled in your learning. I think this deters in the learning of the material. It also makes the explanations and answers confusing.
