The titles cover a wide variety of both practical and academic topics, presenting fundamental subject matter so that it can be clearly understood and provide a foundation for more advanced study. Easy Way books fulfill many purposes. They help students improve their grades, serve as good test preparation review books, and provide readers working outside classroom settings with practical information on subjects that relate to their occupations and careers. All Easy Way books include review questions and mini-tests with answers.

This is a book made for people who hate math and need to learn it quickly. I only wish they made math books this good every day.

Algebra Books Every summer I borrow books from libraries near me to see if they would be good for us with the girls for school in the fall. This book is always brought home and I do enjoy Algebra. It is fairly well written and easy to understand.

Great book to learn algebra from. It's taught through a fairytale type of story that seems silly at first but you end up learning without much effort. I used this book in 1989 and years later ordered it for my kids lol

This is a wonderful way to learn algebra. The book reads like a fairy tale as a group of people in a distant land learn algebra along with you. The author also has a trigonometry book in the same series and he uses the same characters. I have yet to tackle that book, however.
