Barbara Lee Bleau Ph.D.Forgotten Algebra

I'm studying for the GMAT, and after two books from Manhattan and three books from Kaplan, I was still feeling like I was missing something about the basics. This book does a great job of covering what I think I may have learned in 7th, 8th, and 9th grade and also does it in a way that feels like it doesn't stop short of the level the GMAT expects.Also, given that I'm studying for the GMAT, it is fantastic that this book does not support using a calculator.Finally, it provides a significant amount of practice and exercise material, which is otherwise difficult to find for these topics at this level.

This book is well done and helps prepare a person algebraically to take calculus. Highly recommended.

It has a lot of info

This has 31 lessons (1per day can be done) it brought up my sons score on the PERT to complete his Dual Enrollment classes for college

Great teachers make learning easy. Dr. Bleau is great. I used this to prep my kids for algebra in the summers after 6th grade. They thanked me after the fact, but I wasn't super popular over the summer. This is a very well done and as a 50 year+ guy with a year of calculus in the 80s it was a good review for me too. Marketed to get applicants to GMAT up to speed, it is a great way to refresh old memories.

I have not finished the book yet, but can already tell you what a great resource this is. I haven't taken algebra since my sophmore year in high school and I had pretty much forgotten everything I had learned. That was 13 years ago and so far this book is teaching me in a matter of days what took two years of high school algebra back then. Before this book, I was sure that when going back to college I wouldn't fair well on the math placement exam and would have to take a couple of basic classes to get me up to speed. Now I am confident I can go straight to college algebra and do very well. Buy the book and tell anyone who needs to relearn algebra about it.

I bought this in the hopes of reviewing college algebra. This is a pretty light weight look at the basics of high school level algebra, but serves that purpose well.

was as advertised; no surprises":)
