I am a teacher and private tutor, and I bought this book (and The Geometry Tutor) for reference during my tutoring sessions. Both of the books contained a lot of general information, but were extremely difficult to navigate through. The problems and answers were not worded in an easily understandable manner, and the layout of the "chapters," problems, and even index were confusing. It looks like someone typed the entire book on an old typewriter. Both of my books will be donated to my school library, as I have found no help in them. Please buy something else!

I bought this book to help me study for my Algebra two class. Overall it is very good. The book gives you many different problems and shows you how to slove them. Algebra Tutor does not go into depth on problems and it is very general. As a refrence book it is a great help.
