Title: There are better books available
Review: I am not, by any means, a mathematician but this book was required for my College Algebra course. The examples given are very far a few between and steps are usually even skipped while explaining some concepts or examples. There are simple too many gaps left for the student to fill in for themselves. If you are VERY proficient in math than this book will serve you well. But if you like me and your not a math major but need to get the class out of the way, than beware this book! I HIGHLY recommend investing in another book to supplement this one. There are many online resources (such as purplemath.com) that also help keep you up to speed. Either way, do not depend on JUST this book to help you understand the material. College Algebra Demystified also does a very good job at explaining what this book does not and in a much more straight forward and easy-to-understand way.
