Much easier to read and with many more tips on how to solve equations and step by step methodology that may not be present in other text that assumes you already know the steps. Good for people getting back into math after long breaks. Review: Super helpful - I’m re-learning algebra and prepping myself to go back to college and take the college algebra course. This is a great book for that but if you’re trying to learn as a beginner without much prior knowledge of Algebra, there is an Introductory and Intermediate Algebra book that is also by Blitzer that is really great to use before you jump into this one.
