Summary: Helpful, but many typographical errors
Comment: I've been using this book to brush up on (and, in some cases, learn for the first time) certain important Algebraic concepts before my Calc II class begins in the Fall. I can't yet say how well it's prepared me - but in most cases, the explanations are lucid, and examples do much of the talking quite well when the exposition is far too dry and concise.

One warning: The book's riddled with typos. No, x^2+8x<15 is not equivalent to x^2-8x+15<0; y^2=4py isn't the equation of a parabola; etc. Bear this in mind when going through the Conic Sections chapter, where - for some reason - it editing seems to have been especially bad.

Summary: Good, but could've been better...
Comment: I purchased this book when I enrolled in College Algebra in the hopes that it would be a good reference guide to use if I was unable to grasp the concept of a particular problem. Instead, I found that it was basically echoing what my textbook was saying. I was hoping that Schaum's Outline of College Algebra would break things down into basic explanations, but instead, I remained lost.

Summary: Dry, But Handy
Comment: This book offers a dry recitation of math topics, but it is a handy resource to have.
