Book Reviews of Painless Algebra (Barron's Painless)
Book Review: Mistakes And Not-So-Painless Problems
Summary: 1 Stars
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 doing, and you're taught incorrectly, how are you to learn?
Also, she will present simple information and then give some difficult, and I dare say impossible, problems to solve. If I were learning multiplication, and the teacher threw in fractions, integers, and other things I hadn't learned, I would, of course, get lost. Then my confidence would suffer.
I'm gleaning what I can from this book, but there must be far better ones out there. I don't recommend this.
