About this title

From the Author:

Some unique features of this book are included below.
This book is unique in that the introduction includes suggestions on proven techniques of study. Very few textbooks, and no other Schaum's text, contain this information. The language used is clear, concise, and understandable throughout the text. This book shows you how to learn algebra.

Solving word problems is extremely difficult for most students. Mr. Bailey and I have included one of the most detailed step-by-step treatments of word problems available anywhere.

A concise summary of effective study skills and suggestions on proven techniques of study are included in an appendix.
