E-Z Algebra 2

Very good book. Sort of must have for both talented(8-9 class) and average(10-12) students. I say so because explanations are very good, easily followed and understood, even for self study.

I will be honest I need to study all the way to Pre-calc for college to get into Vet Tech Program and I've always been horrible with math but this math book is a very good teacher. This book is boot camp for your brain filling it with knowledge. I'm learning Algebra 2 and Trigonometry with it. It has detailed explanations of each problem and how to solve it. I go on YouTube if I don't understand a problem on how to solve it. I'm still in college but studying a year a head of time so I will get "A" on all my exams. Its a great way to kill time and keeps you on your toes.

It’s honestly a really good book and I recommend it to anyone who sucks at math (like me). The explanations are really helpful but it’s the review questions that really helped me. I started the year off a bit rocky with a 69 and a 60 and after a few hours of studying with the book (AND carefully doing all the review questions), I took another test and got an 85. I’m really proud of myself and I’m really glad I have this book. Buy it.

Great worked problems...would like to see the work on the chapter tests which are not included. Fairly broad syllabus but not all inclusive...few are Update 2019: The more I use this text, the more I like it. These authors are some of the best that Barron's use. They go to unusual lengths to include practice problems that really stretch your understanding of what initially looks like a basic problem. Also included are notes on common student mistakes which are invaluable! The useful calculator section is worth the money alone. I paid under $15 for this text which is a sad statement on what our society values. If you are looking to be a wiz in Alg II and be able to do any problem in any other so called school text book, get this text. Update 01/23...This continues to be my "go to" source for straight forward worked examples that I simply can not find in my 2 other Alg II texts. For instance, many syllabi do not address horizontal dilations of functions. Why? Cause they are sort of hard and considered more Calculus centered. This text includes them with graphs! They are indeed EZ! I continue to substitute teach and have given a few of the calculator tips out from this book, especially finding the two factors of Quadratic Equations. You would not believe the look of gratitude and amazement from students as a result. Also, I now see this as a textbook in at least one of the math classrooms I have been in.

Needed to brush up on some concepts I forgot about in school. This book really went into enough detail to figure out and learn quickly. I feel like this book made the material stick a lot better than school. If you need to learn Algebra I highly recommend this book.
