Schaum's Outline of Intermediate Algebra, Second Edition (Schaum's Outlines)

We are a homeschool family and our tutor for math is a graduate professor from Purdue. We have tried lots of curriculums and this seems to be the most simplistic and easy to follow yet

I ordered this for my out of town grandson who was struggling with intermediate algebra. I used to use this book for tutoring a long time ago. He said it was a big help. I don't know what there is about the way problems are explained, but it seems to connect to certain students who struggle with a live teacher no matter how patient. If Larry Gonick would write a cartoon guide to algebra, it would probably be better than this book, but for now this is the best you can do.

These outlines are great if you are struggling to understand the mechanics of any type of math. The problems are laid out and explained in a way that makes sense

It's a study guide for high school Alg 2, of course it's predictable, thoughtful, steady, and complex. Schaums are always handy for that quick extra reference. We use it maybe once every two weeks especially when you want to see some extra worked out problems on the more complex ideas.

This outline really explained math problems. I bought it to learn about the binomial theorem. It listed solved and unsolved problems (answers were on another page). I had purchased a DVD course on math, but I had to use this guide to fully understand the binomial theorem.

I used various versions of Schaum's outlines during college and I brought this one for my son who is a freshmen in HS. This is still a great resource to have to practice additional problems and to review examples of problems.

I'm using this to help my 10th grade daughter with Algebra.It provides a nice additional source of extra problems and worked examples.The paper is very flimsy so be careful.I wish they had an electronic edition!

I am an older college student who has not been in a math class for over a decade: I bought this book as a study guide to help me prepare for the math assessment test at college. Let's just say this is NOT the book for people who have been out of the math world for a long period of time. It was extremely heavy on the math jargon: Just two sentences in and I was confused. I work much better having problems being solved step-by-step on the page: the wordy descriptions of the problems only confused me. It did seem to cover a lot of ground, and it did have good examples, but I ended up putting it down after a few days and working with the Cliff Notes study guide I had bought instead.
