EDITORIAL REVIEW

Here is instruction and review in whole numbers, fractions, percentages, and introductions to algebra and statistics, plus a diagnostic test and an end-of-book practice test with answers.

Over the years, Barron’s popular and widely-used Easy Way books have proven them-selves to be accessible self-teaching manuals. They have also found their way into many classrooms as valuable and easy-to-use textbook supplements. The titles cover a wide variety of both practical and academic topics, presenting fundamental subject matter so that it can be clearly understood and provide a foundation for more advanced study. Easy Way books fulfill many purposes. They help students improve their grades, serve as good test preparation review books, and provide readers working outside classroom settings with practical information on subjects that relate to their occupations and careers. All Easy Way books include review questions and mini-tests with answers. All new Easy Way editions feature type in two-colors, the second color used to highlight important study points and topic heads.

USER REVIEWS

Only somewhat helpful
~ Written on Aug 18, 2007. out of users found this review helpful.

I had high hopes for this and the first ninety pages or so were exciting for me. I understood some things for the very first time. I spent a couple of weeks on this and made sure I understood every page before I moved on to the next one. But when it got to the algebra section, it simply lost me. No matter how many times I read and re-read and thought about what I'd read and looked at the examples, I simply did not understand. It would have helped if they had explained how they got the particular solutions they got, but they didn't. I just gave up. I can't say it was a total waste, but it really doesn't deliver what it promises. It's helpful to a certain extent, but I wouldn't really call it easy. Two stars.

Not What it Seems!

I order this book because my math teacher recommend it to all the class but it was not what I expect it will be. She tell us that this math book will help us improve our math skills and abilities but its not true! Right now I still have the same skills that I have before I ordered and the exercises and explanations are complicated, simple, fast and hard to figure out. Beside I didn't like how it arrive to my house it was all folded out and it seems like it was already return before and used so don't expect to buy books here again. S_R_C

An excellent general math review

I got this book shortly before going back to college because I knew the entrance exam would contain a fair amount of math and I was rusty. The book is very thorough and offers clear explainations of not only the solutions to problems, but also the theory behind those solutions. With the help of this book, I was able to test out of general math, pre-algebra, and basic algebra.

Perfect, except for the editing

My only beef: there are several incorrectly computed answers in Math the Easy Way. It also has several typos, though I think these are minor.

For the student willing to learn by this book, though, you couldn't do better. Highly recommended.

Excellent resource

A young friend of mine was struggling in math(algebra). I am not the sharpest tack when it comes to math, so I shopped around
for the best resource I could find, and I came across this little gem. So certain are the authors that your math grades will improve in 30 days, that they offer a full refund if you are not
satisfied. After tutoring my friend, who was flunking algebra,
she earned a B on her next report card. I have since used this
most excellent resource to polish up my own math skills, with great effect. There could probably be more examples, especially
for the more difficult math problems, but I still highly recommend this book.
