Bob Miller's Algebra for the Clueless Bob Miller
Over 1.6 million SAT takers and more than 10,000 students take remedial math courses, including algebra, every year. "Algebra" I and II are required for college-bound high school students and many first year college students. This book is a prequel to Miller's calculus series and presents a two-semester high school or college math course in "Algebra" I and II. "Algebra for the Clueless" focuses on, and clearly explains topics that most often cause trouble for students, like quadratic equations and binomial theorem. Its easy to read and non-technical language makes learning painless.
