Title: Not really good for the clueless
Review: Just once I would love to open an Algebra text and find in the first chapter on the first pages and explaination of WHAT THE HECK ALGEBRA IS, AN WHAT ITS FOR, AND HOW IT FITS INTO THE WHOLE WORLD OF MATHEMATICS.This book offers nothing new in technique or content. In itself its not a "bad" text, it just does not excel in any way that would cause you to say "this is great for beginners etc" It is however a good quick review for those accomplished in Algebra at one time and need to just review.
Is this product review negative?
