Mistakes And Not-So-Painless Problems
I would like this book a lot more, except: There are mistakes. For example, when asked to graph the coordinate (-4, -2), you go to -4 on the x axis first, then down to -2 on the y axis. She had it backwards. If you don't know what you're...

Outstanding book
I've had to brush up on Algebra (I haven't used it in decades) and this book does an outstanding job. As a previous reviewer noted, the graph (on page 31) pertaining to rational/irrational numbers is; indeed, incorrect but, as far as I can tell,...

Painless for me because I completely forgot everything I learned in school.
This book is easy to understand. I had forgotten absolutely EVERYTHING about algebra. This book is good for anyone who will be starting like I did, knowing nothing.

1st diagram I saw was incorrect
I am homeschooling my son, so I bought this book as a way to make Algebra easier for him. He's only in third grade, so I don't need it yet. However, I was explaining something to him regarding a calculation and wanted to see how the book would...

Good refresher
This book is a good refresher, much like Cliff Notes. It could be a bit more explanatory in areas, but overall it is a great book to thumb through for the basics.

Five stars all the way!!
I really can't add much to the previous reviews of how GREAT this book is! It is clearly, in my opinion, the only way to teach/learn (love the teachers that reviewed this book who are implementing these concepts in their class!!) Algebra. It makes...

Absolutely Painless!
I recently started school in preparation for a career change. It's been 35 years since I've done this type of math. To say I was rusty is a massive understatement. However, with the aid of this book, I was back up to speed in no time.

Highly effective and super easy to understand
Learning algebra could not be any easier. Lynette Long promises to show the concepts of algebra painlessly and she delivers on that promise. Algebra is a subject that seems intimidating to so many people, but truly I've never seen a book that...

Excellent- and I'm a math teacher!
I use this book as a resource in the classroom for helping my students master algebra. Sometimes textbooks don't explain well and I run out of alternative ways to explain a concept. Painless Algebra helps me help them with clear, lucid...
