Review: Fantastic at what it does - It is not a comprehensive guide, but what it does very well (unlike most) is explain the mechanics and syntax, assuming the reader is a complete beginner. Its progression is logical and it rationalises every concept by description, illustration with exercises for the reader. It also highlights caveats. It doesn't go into great depth but that is not its aim. Instead it provides a solid overview for understanding and manipulating basic algebra, which is so critical for progression onto more advanced mathematics. Review: An excellent self-teaching guide. - This is an excellent book which explains algebra in a easy to understand and systematic way. Highly recommended for students who struggle with algebra or for tutors/teachers who are looking for an excellent resource. ## Features - New - Mint Condition - Dispatch same day for order received before 12 noon - Guaranteed packaging - No quibbles returns ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 776,776 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 396 in Algebra (Books) 801 in Popular Maths 1,316 in Popular Science Maths | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 781 Reviews | ## Images ![Practical Algebra: A Self-Teaching Guide, 2nd Edition (Wiley Self-Teaching Guides) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81B0wgtFaXL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic at what it does *by C***L on 2 October 2013* It is not a comprehensive guide, but what it does very well (unlike most) is explain the mechanics and syntax, assuming the reader is a complete beginner.
