Title: Memorize Shortcuts - Comprehend Nothing
Review: The author reduces algebra to a bunch of simplistic formulas to memorize. While this may get a student through the test tomorrow it does nothing to further true mastery or comprehension of the material that will allow them to grow with mathematics or apply the material when presented differently than the author of this books presents it.The thought that this book was suggested by my son's pre-algebra teacher makes me nauseated.
