Editorial Review Product Description Having trouble understanding algebra? Do algebraic concepts, equations, and logic just make your head spin? We have great news: Head First Algebra is designed for you. Full of engaging stories and practical, real-world explanations, this book will help you learn everything from natural numbers and exponents to solving systems of equations and graphing polynomials. |
Where do math issues come from?
Math study is sequential.Then “math” goes into the land of times tables, division, more multiplication (this time with two places), more division (this time with two places), and it tends to get...well...Boring! So by the time you start Algebra, you’re already saying, "I'm not a math person." |
The problem is that Algebra is where mathematics really starts, although a bunch of people are already turned off. In Algebra you’re learning how to apply logic, how to construct a real problem in the math world, and seeking a solution to things that you can’t do in your head. You can write out the situation as you know it, and following Algebraic principles, get to the answer. The answer is something that you can actually use.You learn the process and understand the relationship that the equation, inequality, functions, or graph represents; and how to manipulate it. |
EVERYBODY is a math person; you just might not know it yet. Doesn’t mean that everybody is going to love it, go out and become a math major, but it means that everyone can work with math and use it out there in the world. Because you’ll need to. Unless you plan to never spend any money or put anything together with tools, you’re going to need math to help you. And there is no reason why everyone can’t get there. They just have to start by thinking they can. |

Very good book
I bought this book for my daughter.She is in grade 8.She read the book from the begining to the end.Head First books are her favorite books.
Great book for reviewing alegbra
This book is good refresher for those who been away from school for many years. It give good examples throughout the book to help you undertstand key formulas. It makes you use papaer and pencil without the use of a calculator which in the long run is a blessing. I've used this book along with a college textbook and it has allowed me the chance to succeed in class. This book really is a A+++.
great for college students
I generally review books for the homeschool market up through twelfth grade, so I first looked at this as a possibility for use in high school. While it covers the material for an Algebra 1 course just fine, the presentation tends to limit the audience to college and young adults.
The book uses lots of life situations within which problems and their solutions are presented. The life situations include, for example, computing the costs of bringing along a group of friends on a road trip to a concert, determining amounts of ingredients to make punch for a New Year's party, determining placement of a water balloon catapult for frat warfare, and computing costs of operating a profitable lawn business. All of these are addressed to a young adult rather than high school audience.
The style of the presentation is very engaging, especially for those who appreciate all the extra visuals--arrows, and "scibbled" notes to explain things that a teacher might be mentioning in a classroom situation, very casual and direct language, photos of real people commenting in cartoon bubbles on the lesson content, crossword puzzles for practice and review, and more graphics than you generally find in an algebra text.
Those who haven't studied math for a few years will likely appreciate the review of pre-algebra 63-page section at the back of the book. The pre-algebra is presented in manner similar to the rest of the book, but students can refer to this section as needed... or not.
Solutions are included, and no teacher instruction is required, so Head First Algebra really works well for a student working totally independently.
One of the best, but someone needed to edit for ERRORS
On a Thursday I found out I needed to take a college placement test on Monday and this test included higher math, including Algebra, which I hadn't studied in 30 year.
I hit the local Barnes & Noble and came home with three books on Algebra, and over the next 2.5 days worked through a good chunk of all of them, allowing me to do some good side-by-side comparisons.
I liked the verbose teaching style and constant use of fairly realistic examples in this book. I like that they explain some things that other books just assume you know, and therefore don't mention.
I like all the "hand-written" side notes and arrows and diagrams, and the contrived "discussions" after many topics; all these help get you thinking and remembering what you've just read, and worked on.
This book is the closest thing to being in a classroom. I say this, because many of the notes and arrows, which I just referred to, are similar to questions and answers that would probably take place in real classroom after a teacher introduced one of these topics. For example, after introducing linear graphing, a teacher would certain get questions like "But what's the point of doing this? What does it accomplish?". This book spends lots of time answering questions like these, really helping you understand that topic and answering lots of questions that would probably come up in your own mind as well.
I would give this book a better rating but they really missed the mark in one area: accuracy. Early on in the book I found several errors in the answer that really discouraged me. I thought I had misunderstood a topic and went back over the material several times till I finally just concluded they'd gotten it wrong.
This is not acceptable, folks. It's clear that LOTS of work went into this book, couldn't a little time have been spent making sure the answers were correct?
Incorrect Solutions!
I purchased this book to prepare for my first semester back to college at 10 years away.Math was never my strongest suit but I will need a significant amount of math courses to get through my degree.
A couple pages into the book it became clear that I was rustier than I had originally thought.I was going to give up on it and then I saw there was a pre-algebra review in an appendix, so I worked though it.It was the perfect pace for a refresher and I easily transitioned into chapter one.
I followed the instructions and worked in the book prior to going to sleep so the info would stick (and as a result I ended up dreaming about math every night), and the left brain activities were perfect to release the tension in my brain and enabled me to cover more material each evening.
That said, after just working through the pre-algebra appendix and chapters 1 & 2, I have already come across three incorrect solutions presented in the book, two of which were in the pre-algebra fractions review, which is a scary and frustrating subject for a lot of people.I was on the verge of tears because I thought I just was too dumb to understand fractions, before I realized the error was in the book, not in my math.
Also some of the problems are a little bit convoluted and don't really fit the lesson they are trying to teach.
As much as I love the set-up, style and pace of this book, incorrect answers are inexcusable.

Editorial Review Product Description Bob Blitzer’s unique background in mathematics and behavioral sciences, along with his commitment to teaching, inspired him to develop a precalculus series that gets readers engaged and keeps them engaged. Presenting the full scope of the mathematics is just the first step. Blitzer draws in the reader with vivid applications that use math to solve real-life problems. These applications help answer the question “When will I ever use this?” Readers stay engaged because the book helps them remain focused as they study. The three-step learning system–See It, Hear It, Try It–makes examples easy to follow, while frequent annotations offer the support and guidance of an instructor’s voice. Every page is interesting and relevant, ensuring that readers will actually use their textbook to achieve success!
