My grandson was taking Alg 2 and did not completely understand the teacher's explanation on how to work a problem. He was not able to find what he needed in his 800 + page textbook. He had a copy of "Success in Math From Middle School Through College" and was able to find what he needed.

A friend who had been out of school several years was going to have to take some remedial classes and decided to work a couple of chapter in this book on her own. She was then able to take college algebra and made an "A" in the course.
